Hello and welcome to the session. Let us discuss the following question which says evaluate integral of x sin x upon 1 plus cos square x dx from 0 to pi. Before proceeding for the solution let's recall few formulas which will be helpful in solving this question. So first of all we have integral of f of x dx from 0 to a is equal to integral of f of a minus x dx from 0 to a. Second is integral of f of x dx from a to b is equal to minus integral of f of x dx from b to a. Third we have integral of 1 upon 1 plus x square dx is equal to tan inverse x. And lastly tan inverse of minus x is equal to minus tan inverse of x. So this is the key idea for this question. Now let's move on to its solution. We need to integrate x into sin x upon 1 plus cos square x dx from 0 to pi. So let us assume this to be equal to i. Now let us use the first property. So this will be equal to integral of pi minus x into sin of pi minus x upon 1 plus cos square pi minus x dx from 0 to pi. Because integral of f of x dx from 0 to a is equal to integral of f of a minus x dx from 0 to a. Now we know that sin pi minus x is equal to sin x and cos pi minus x is equal to minus cos x. So this implies that cos square pi minus x will be equal to square of minus cos x that is cos square x. Now let us substitute the values of sin pi minus x and cos pi minus x over here. Thus i will be equal to integral of pi minus x into sin x upon 1 plus cos square x dx from 0 to pi. So this will be equal to integral of pi into sin x upon 1 plus cos square x dx from 0 to pi minus integral of x into sin x upon 1 plus cos square x dx from 0 to pi. Now in the beginning we assumed integral of x into sin x upon 1 plus cos square x dx from 0 to pi equal to i. Thus this will be equal to integral of pi into sin x upon 1 plus cos square x dx from 0 to pi minus i. So this implies i plus i is equal to integral of pi into sin x upon 1 plus cos square x dx from 0 to pi that is 2i is equal to pi into integral of sin x upon 1 plus cos square x dx from 0 to pi. Now to integrate this let us substitute cos x as t. So let t is equal to cos x. This implies dt by dx is equal to minus sin x or minus dt is equal to sin x dx. So when x is equal to 0 then t will be equal to cos 0 which is equal to 1 and when x is equal to pi then t will be equal to cos pi which is equal to minus 1 thus 2i will be equal to pi into integral of minus dt upon 1 plus t square from 1 to minus 1. Now let us use this property. So this is equal to pi into integral of minus 1 to 1 dt upon 1 plus t square because integral of f of x dx from a to b is equal to minus into integral of f of x dx from b to a and we already know that integration of 1 upon 1 plus x square dx is equal to tan inverse x. So integration of 1 upon 1 plus t square dt will be equal to tan inverse t. So this implies that 2i is equal to pi into tan inverse of t from minus 1 to 1 which will be equal to pi into tan inverse of 1 minus tan inverse of minus 1 that is pi into tan inverse of 1 plus tan inverse of 1 because tan inverse of minus x is equal to minus tan inverse of x. So this gives that 2i is equal to pi into pi by 4 plus pi by 4 because tan inverse of 1 is equal to pi by 4. So this will be equal to pi into pi by 2 which is equal to pi square upon 2. So i will be equal to pi square upon 4. Thus pi square upon 4 is the required answer to this question. With this we finish this session. Hope you must have enjoyed it. Goodbye, take care and keep smiling.


In this video, I'm going to show you step-by-step how to install security headers in AWS LightSale using AWS WordPress Instance. HTTP security headers are a set of HTTP headers that provide additional security for web servers, browsers and internet service providers. They are used to protect against various attacks such as cross-site scripting and clickjacking. Now, before we begin, you could go to securityheaders.com and check your security report summary. As you can see, you have to put your URL in here and scan your website.  Now, the first thing that you will need is to have access to your LightSale account, just like I do, because we're going to be using the terminal from here. And also, you will need to be able to connect to your web server through FTP. And for this, I'm going to be using FireZilla. So the first thing that I'm going to do is connect to the server by going to File, Site Manager, and then I've already got my credentials in here. So I'm going to click Connect. Once in here, we are getting the directory slash home and Bitnami. We actually need to change this. So the directory that we need to go initially is the OPT slash Bitnami slash Apache slash config and slash vhost. Obviously, in future, that might change. But as of now, this is the correct folder. And the file that we are after is the WordPress dash vhost.conf. So I'm going to drag this out. And the next file that we need, I'm going to drag it in here so we can see it. And the next file that we need is going to be under HT access. So if you go under this folder, so at the moment we are in OPT, Bitnami, Apache, config, vhost and slash HT access. Now, let's track this file out as well. And I'm going to move it below here. And now let's open both files. And I'm going to open them in Visual Studio Code. Now, the first file that we need to look into is the WordPress dash vhost.conf. And the line that we need to change, let me zoom in. And the word that we're looking for is this allow override none. So we need to change this to all. And this will allow this HT access file to be read. So the next thing that we need to do is go to this WordPress dash HT access file. And underneath here where we have directory, this is the opening tag. And if it's gone down a little bit more, we have the closing tag. So underneath here is where we're going to paste the security headers. So they look just like this. So I've tested this on my website and it works absolutely fine. But you need to note that you're going to have to modify some of the headers to work for your website because, for example, inside here, we've actually disabled the camera, the microphone and the geolocation. So you might, that might actually break your website if you have functionality that uses those and so on. So you might have to research every single security header and maybe add them one by one if you have any problems saying this, save both files, control and s, control and s, and now minimize this. Let's go back to filezilla and go back to the original directory where we have vhost. And the first thing that I'm going to do is instead of dragging this over and replacing the file, I'm actually going to do right click and rename this. And I'm going to rename this as something like original. Now, the reason we're doing this is because replacing it sometimes doesn't work. So you might as well either rename this or delete it. And now we can drag the one that we just modified. Now, the next thing that we need to do is restart Apache. In order to do this, let's go back to the browser and go to your light cell instance where you have your instance inside here. You can click on the little terminal icon and dash it open a new window. This looks a little blurry because I'm zoomed in quite a bit, but it doesn't really matter. And the code that you need to put, I'm going to do right click and paste. And the code is sudo, which gives us root access. And then this is going to be slash OPT slash bitnami slash control script dot SH restart and then Apache press enter. And if you see restarted Apache, this is a good sign. And now all security headers should work. So go back to the scanner here, security headers.com and rescind my website. You might notice that nothing actually changed. Now, in my case, this is because I need to clean my website cache.  And for example, I'm using the VP rocket. And then you can click on clear and preload cache. And that will solve your issue and your security headers will be done. But because I'm using a CDN, I'm actually going to have to go to the website that I'm using, which in this case is stack path. And I'm going to have to purge my cash from here like so. As I said, for most of you, you should be able to do this from your dashboard in here. All right. Now that I've cleaned the cache, now that I've purged the cache, I can go back to the security headers and let's rescan. Okay. As you can see, we have a plus now. We have all the security headers in here. And now you should go to your website, test there. And if there are any problems, obviously modify the headers and so on. One thing that I need to mention is that everything you change your security headers, you do need to restart Apache. And normally you can just press the up arrow.  And just press enter. And that's pretty much it. I hope that you found this useful. Consider subscribing. And hopefully I will see you in the next one.


Assalamu alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh. This morning at Fajr, I opened up my phone to see a text message from a very close friend. She sent me an image of a Facebook post from one of our teachers, the esteemed and honorable Sheikh Muhammad Ali Aqoubi, Hafidahullah, who said today in a post on Facebook, he said, tonight is the night of Nisf-ul Shaaban. It is the night of forgiveness, the night of having a pure heart towards brothers and sisters, the night of coming back to Allah, beseeching him to forgive us. And in order to receive his forgiveness, we need to prepare ourselves by forgiving all others. As I read the text and then re-read it, I thought to myself, subhanAllah, in just a few words, Sheikh Muhammad, again, Hafidahullah, perfectly and concisely covered the topic of forgiveness in Islam, which is what I was asked to speak about today, specifically on mastering patience by overcoming anger and forgiving others. What Sheikh Muhammad expressed so succinctly, yet powerfully in his post, is something that many people miss when the topic of forgiveness in Islam comes up. Instead of understanding that forgiveness of any person or group for any wrongdoing is not about being benevolent toward that person or group as much as it is about securing one's own relationship and standing with Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala. I get questions all the time from different people, Sister Hussain, how can I forgive someone who has hurt me, betrayed me, cheated on me, lied to me, abused me? What if I can't forgive them? Will Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala be displeased with me? How can I let go of the anger and resentment? What if I don't want to or feel ready to forgive them? I always respond the same way, your focus is misplaced because indeed the ego, the nefs, the greatest enemy of the human being deceives us, distorts reality and conceals the truth. It's the difference between what our scholars call the camel vision and the donkey vision. The camel is always looking ahead and above the donkey as myopic and limited to what's right in front and below. So instead of realizing the great opportunity for reward that stands between us and Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala when we are tested in our relationships, some of us get too focused on trying to expunge negative feelings from our heart, which isn't always easy to do. We're human beings after all, not robots. So in some cases, even after forgiving someone, the pain still lingers and takes time to dissipate and that's okay because we've already turned to Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala and put our trust in him and the process that he's laid out for us, which is fail proof, forgive others and in turn you will be forgiven. In other words, forgive others and reap the rewards and benefits that our generous Lord has in store for us. Do not worry about the lingering feelings and what can we possibly want more than that? More than the forgiveness of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala. Why are we so focused on feelings which Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala can remove from our hearts in an instant? He is al-mukalab al-quloob after all. We just need to submit to him and leave the rest to time. Even our beloved Prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam who forgave more people who harmed him needed time in some cases because the pain of their actions were so severe. For example, after the conquest of Mecca the Prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam forgave many people like Abu Sufyan, Wahshi and Hind, all of whom caused him a great deal of pain and suffering before they made tawbah and sought his forgiveness. But with Wahshi especially, there was more distance because he was often reminded, when the Prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam would look at Wahshi, he was reminded of what he did to his beloved uncle Hamza radiallahu an during the battle of Ahud. So when we talk about forgiveness in Islam it is not about writing the wrongs of the other person, getting our just desserts as they say or withholding forgiveness as an act of self preservation or a defense mechanism. It is about returning to Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala. It is about recognizing our own shortcomings, failures and infractions. First in our acts of disobedience and ghaflah which we're all guilty of and second in our harm towards others which we may not even be aware of. For example, how many of us sitting here today are guilty of direct disobedience of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala? Knowingly disobeying our creator. Every hand should go up if we're being honest and taking a poll. How many of us disobeyed him even today? How many times have we hurt, slighted, offended or even abused someone through our words, our actions, our inactions? Whether we intended harm or not, perhaps we were insensitive or negligent, inconsiderate or dismissive. Sometimes we are aware of ourselves and sometimes it is our gross negligence that causes harm. Just spend one day in the masjid observing how children are treated and spoken to in the house of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala. A place where our beloveds of Allah suddenly prayed and played along children and never once disrespected them or treated them like they were nuisances. But how many of us look at them with scorn because they are being children, playing. And we feel more entitled to the house of Allah than them. May Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala forgive us. What I've always found fascinating about human nature is our tendency to see ourselves in the best light even when there is ample evidence to the contrary. But when we're reflecting on bad habits, vices and poor character, we never think of ourselves, do we? Rather we immediately think of others. If I shared a long list of bad qualities right now, how many of us would think of family members, friends, coworkers, neighbors, community members? And how many of us would think first of ourselves? Very few among us, we can be sure of that. For ourselves we wear rose-colored glasses, but for others we have magnifying glasses ready to call out every mistake and fault. This delusion of the self is why the Prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam warned us to be inwardly focused and self-reflect, tuba liman shagalahu aibuhu anu yubin nas. Blessed is he who is occupied with his own faults over the faults of people. The reality, dear brothers and sisters, is that we all fall short. Every one of us is fallible and we have accumulated many wrongs against our own souls and against others, whether we know it or not. And that's why we must understand that the act of forgiveness is not something that we do from a place of privilege, but rather from a place of humility and self-reflection because there's a great opportunity for tuba, rectification of the soul and drawing closer to our Creator. Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala out of his infinite generosity and mercy for us has not taken many of us to task for all of our egregious mistakes, violating not only his laws and clearly defined boundaries of halal and haram, but also harming his creation. So isn't it time for us to think twice about holding grudges, withholding forgiveness and allowing rancor and resentment to consume our hearts? Isn't it time for us to see the hypocrisy and refusing to forgive others and demanding justice while we have yet to answer for our own misdeeds against our Creator and His creation? Forgiveness is a path to jannah, an act of belief, conviction and trust in one's Creator and a measure of strength. When asked, what is manhood? One of the great scholars, Al-Ahnaf Ibn Qays said, Al-Hilmu, and Al-Ghadab, Al-Affu, and Al-Qudra, forbearance at a time of anger and forgiveness at a time of power. And the perfect example of forgiveness at a time of power on multiple occasions, but especially during the Fatah of Mecca is the demeanor, disposition, and the grace of our beloved, Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam. Ibn Abbas further added, Allah has commanded patients at a time of anger and forbearance and forgiveness at a time of being wronged. If one does so, Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala will protect them from shaitan and subdue their enemies such that they become like dear friends. And Ibn Al-Qayyim, may Allah have mercy on him, also said, forgiveness is more beloved to Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala than vengeance, mercy is more beloved to him than punishment, grace is more beloved to him than justice, and giving is more beloved to him than withholding.  We are deficient and cannot do anything worthwhile without Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala. So we must turn to Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala, especially on this beautiful night of Nis Shaban, and certainly between now and the month of Ramadan, Allahumma balighna Ramadan. And ask Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala to help us to overcome our enoughs, to forgive others easily for his sake and to become worthy of his forgiveness. May Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala make us people of truth, even against our own souls and people of Tawba. And may he forgive us all. Ameen jazakum Allahu khayran wa s-salamu alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh.

Genes are the entire basis of our existence. The tiniest change or mutation in our genes or DNA can lead to devastating consequences. One such consequence comes in the form of this disease called ADA deficiency. Now ADA or adenosine DMINase is essentially an enzyme which is crucial for our immune system. You see this enzyme, this ADA enzyme, it eliminates a molecule which is super toxic to the lymphocytes of our body. Now because of that, if there's not enough of this enzyme, this ADA enzyme, if there's not enough of it in our body, then what will happen? It will fail to get rid of that super toxic molecule and all the lymphocytes will start to die. And we cannot have that because our lymphocytes protect us from every possible foreign particle that you can think of like say viruses, bacteria, fungi, you name it and lymphocytes are protecting us from all of them. So do we have any solutions for this? Yes, yes we do. We do have some solutions for this condition. One of them is bone marrow transplantation. Now let's move this a little bit to the side so that you guys can see it. Now one of the options is called bone marrow transplantation. Now in this what happens is that you take stem cells from the bone marrow of a healthy person and then you inject it into the patient. Now stem cells are these cells which grow into a specific type of cell and the stem cells that we are collecting from the healthy person, these stem cells that we got from the healthy person, they will grow into new lymphocytes. So we are taking those stem cells and we're injecting it to the patient so that new lymphocytes can be formed in their body. Now if you don't want to go for bone marrow transplantation there's one more option. It's called enzyme replacement theory in which you inject the functional ADA enzyme directly into the patient. But neither of these, but the problem with these solutions what is I'll tell you is that neither of these solutions are, well they're not permanent. So the problem with now they say that like in some cases bone marrow transplantation has been somewhat permanent but there is no guarantee for it given that there's a huge list of side effects and sometimes you don't find the right donor who's going to donate that bone marrow for the transplantation. So because of a huge number of problems there's no guarantee that bone marrow transplantation is permanent and as for enzyme replacement therapy you have to regularly get that enzyme replaced technically. So you have to get that constantly done. So because of these non-permanent solutions this is where gene therapy kind of comes into the picture. Now what is gene therapy that's the first question that probably comes to your mind. Now gene therapy is this process or a procedure in which you replace the defective genes of something and you replace that with the functional gene. So you replace the defective genes with the functional ones. In this process what you are essentially going to do is that you will take the functional gene and you will deliver it to the patient and this new functional gene will compensate for that defective gene and end up producing that gene product which we desperately need. So that is the whole idea behind it. So you can kind of call it that it's a kind of a correction therapy where you are correcting that defective gene. So it's a form of correction therapy in one way but now the main question arises is probably that how are you going to do something like that. How are you going to pick out a gene and then insert it into that another person and then also make sure that that gene works perfectly in that person. So how exactly do you carry out something so complicated. Now ADA deficiency is one of the very first diseases where this gene therapy method was used for the first time. Now if you haven't already figured out by now but I'm mentioning it once again so that we are pretty clear about it. ADA deficiency this disease is caused due to a mutation like I said in the beginning like any tiny change can lead to huge devastating consequences. So ADA deficiency is also a result of a mutated gene and gene therapy seemed to be the perfect and this disease seemed to be the perfect place where gene therapy could be used for the first time and the approach that they used for ADA gene therapy is something called an ex vivo approach which literally is like if you translate this it's a Latin word actually and I looked it up it literally translates to out of the living. So what they essentially do or what they really do in this process in this ex vivo approach is that they take the cells extracted from the patient and then they modify them outside in a culture like in a plate or in a culture of some sort and they modify it and then they kind of injected back into the person so it's out of the living outside the living body that's why it's called the ex vivo approach. So here what they are going to do is that they will extract the lymphocytes from the bone marrow of the patient and they are going to then culture it separately in artificial conditions and allow these lymphocytes cells to multiply and grow and then what they are going to do is now they are going to add a functional copy of this ADA gene so you can see this green colored gene right over here let's change the color again so this this one this is the functional ADA gene the functional copy that we have and we are going to insert this functional gene into the cultured cells that we have the cultured lymphocytes with the help of a viral vector wait what now why you heard me viruses we use viruses as or viral vectors like as vehicles to transfer the gene but the question is are they safe is it safe to use a virus to transfer a gene well they can be whenever you use a virus as a vector of some sort you kind of get rid of all the harmful genes that can possibly cause some kind of complication in us that can possibly harm us so you get rid of all of those viral genes but the problem is that despite doing something like that in some cases these viral vectors have known to cause leukemia for some reason in in some cases in some patients so we couldn't have that if we wanted to use viruses as vectors we cannot have any kind of underlying complication that can arise from this virus or this viral vector so what scientists did they altered these viral vectors in such a way that they don't cause any form of cancer or leukemia or anything else for that matter so once they had altered these viral vectors so they kind of got rid of that extra problem that they kept facing once these viral vectors have inserted the functional ADA gene into the cultured lymphocytes we now take these now modified so these cells are now modified wait let's use a different color so we'll know so these cells right here they are now modified so we now take these modified lymphocytes cells and we inject them into the patient now what will happen when these lymphocytes are injected into the person is now that every single time a new cell is formed there will be this new functional gene copy that we had added earlier so every time the cell replicates or it grows or it multiplies then all of those cells will have this new functional copy and because of that the ADA enzyme will get perfectly produced something that the mutated gene could not do however no matter how cool this entire process seems and it seems pretty fancy and we're getting rid of the problem and stuff this entire thing was again not a permanent solution because think about it because these lymphocyte cells they are not immortal they're gonna die they're gonna perish at some point right and then what's gonna happen then these functional genes these functional ADA copies that we had added they would also die off with the right along with the cells so this person will need yet another jab of these modified lymphocytes that we had cultured in the lab these lymphocytes with the ADA gene with functional ADA gene and then he's gonna need another because those lymphocytes are gonna die and another and another so you get the idea right so it it's not a permanent thing again it's not then why exactly are scientists calling gene therapy so promising if it's not giving us any permanent solution then what's with all the hype right how why are we glorifying this entire process so much why does it hold so much of promise in the future that's because gene therapy has shown excellent results almost permanent results with stem cells now we already talked about stem cells earlier right so these cells can grow into a very specific type of cell so when scientists tried to do gene therapy with the stem cells that would eventually grow into lymphocytes something that we can find in the bone marrow like we had seen earlier that you find these stem cells that can grow into lymphocytes eventually and you can find them in the bone marrow so when scientists tried to do gene therapy with these stem cells then they saw that this ADA functional gene that they had inserted into those stem cells they expressed so well that the patient's immunity actually ended up improving so much more like there was apps there were absolutely no signs of any form of cancer or leukemia or anything else for that matter their immunity was really improved and the gene was getting expressed brilliantly the enzyme was getting produced just fine almost as good as normal so that is why we are calling gene therapy promising because when you are using gene therapy with stem cells they're giving us pretty amazing results for that matter almost close like as close to permanent as we can get so you see gene therapy is pretty darn amazing actually if you think about it I mean the medical field science has advanced so much all these years that we are trying to correct genes like genes not just the symptoms of a disease that's pretty huge if you ask me that's quite huge


appreciative for the turnout of that to meet with another meeting and also to meet our new city manager. With the start of the talk, I would like to introduce at least one of the elected officials that is here, Representative Barbara Urban Hawkins, if she can stand, give her a big applause. Representative Urban Hawkins has been a great leader in this community for many years. She's doing a great job at the state level. We have committed to work together along with Commissioner Tommy Coward to make sure that these offices and these positions all work together for the good of the entire area. So, I've committed to continue doing that. I'm hoping that the next District 2 Council Member will also continue to do that, but it's important for leadership purposes and also for achievement purposes to make sure that at least those three representatives for this area work together. So, I continue to look for Representative Urban Hawkins, look forward to continue working with you. It's ma'am. What I would also like to do is at this time introduce the District 2 candidates that are already five.  You'll have an opportunity to get to know the defender over the next four or five months. But the deadline for the District 2 candidate seating closes on the 15th. And as many of you all know, I'm here for just the interval, so I don't keep running from that position, but I didn't want to make sure that I introduced at least the candidates who have filed so far to you. So, they can come forward as I call their names. Denise, would you like to come forward? Yeah! Yeah, Denise, come on up. Okay. I mean, I think this would be on him, but... Come on up, give us your name. What's your name? Marcin Diego. Marcin Diego, look at Marcin Diego. You're our candidates for District 2. Again, there may be more, but I want you all to see who they are, and after the meeting, be sure to ask them questions, get to know them and their vision for the District. So, we look forward to a good and fair and open opportunity to meet with these individuals over the next four or five months. All right. Thank you. What I'd also like to do is to have my staff come up. These are individuals that you all have worked with for many years that are the face of my office and the face of District 2, but many ways, they work closely with City staff. Okay. So, Jarvis, Gorsonzoni, and Nanyu, Nanyu Romero is our director of communications, constituent services and senior services, voice employees or staff members, but his work previously on Councilor Orlando Romero is director of constituent services, constituent services, and District 2 intern, Angie Adeyama. So, part of my strategy when I did a District 8, when I came on board, Bonnie Connor was a previous council member, and she had one of the best staffs that was known at City Hall and throughout the city. And so, my strategy was to keep that same consistency of staff members on board when I came on the District 8. District 2 also has the same reputation. So, it's important for me to make sure that we keep that consistency and keep all these individuals on board. So, I'm happy to keep working with every one of them. And as you all interface with my office in the city, these are the people that you've been able to work with. So, thank you all for working with me, and just a quick hello. If all those who are city staff, apart from Eric, if you're a city staff of any form, please raise your hand in a way so that we can all see who you are. All right, give them a big hand. If you all have issues, those are the ones that are taking the ball and dealing with a lot of the issues and the problems that we face in the city and its constituents. The next person I'd like to raise up, and I'm going to ring him up first, is Ryan in my comments. I'm going to let him leave, also before I end my conference. Eric Walsh has been an individual at City Hall that I've respected for many years. While I was on city council, he didn't apply for city manager, but I thought at that point that he would one day be city manager. And I was so proud to be able to cast my vote for him a couple of weeks ago for me or the city manager. He's back then, he would always take on the most complicated issues and come up with solutions. And he has a continues to do that over the years. And so it's with great pleasure that I'm going to introduce Eric Walsh. Let me tell you one thing before he comes on up. Today is his birthday. He's working on the evening shift on his birthday. And so he's going to say a few comments. We may take two questions at once. They better be burning questions. And then we're going to let him, we're going to say happy birthday to him. Have a bit of cake and let him walk out while we continue our meeting, all right? Thank you, councilman. I didn't know you were going to share your birthday with me. Thank you. So I'm really excited to be out here. So the mayor and council have set up a whole series of meetings throughout the community and with the community organizations and the business community to introduce myself. So let me talk a little bit about 1 a.m. where I'm from, I'm from San Antonio. I grew up here once I was a second Catholic with a Sergeant Alonzo back there. He's a little bit younger than me, right? But I graduated from Trinity. We're both a bachelor's degree. And I was fortunate enough to begin working with the city about 10 days after I graduated. I started a budget office in the city. And that probably gave me the best understanding to understand the financial aspects of the city over the next seven or eight years. In 2006, I was promoted to assistant city manager. And in 2011, definitely city manager. And in the areas I've overseen as an assistant city manager and deputy manager, but generally the larger operational departments, the police department, the fire department, emergency management, development services, which would lose good compliance, solid base management, the health department, customer service, I think we're one intergovernmental relationship budget office. I'm humbled by how I've gotten to this point because it's, you blinked 24 and a half years later and I probably never thought I would have stayed in one organization my entire career so far. But I'm extremely fortunate. There is, in my profession, city management profession. There are very few times where you get the opportunity to become a city manager in your own town. Whether it's Marble Falls, or you're in Valdea or St. Martin's, big town or a little town in the state, it just doesn't happen very often. So, while I find myself in a fortunate position to have a career achievement to become a city manager, there's a double balance because we talk a little bit about what the city manager does and this is something that I've talked about with each of the groups. So the city manager's role is a simple role, relatively speaking. The mayor and city council are the board of directors. The mayor is the chairperson and the city council act as a board of directors. The city manager acts as a CEO and chief executive officer. The manager's responsibilities are to overseeing 12,000 over 12,000 employees to oversee all the administrative processes, to oversee the operations of the organization. And we've got a huge organization, over 12,000 employees and over $2.8 billion a year a budget. That's the manager's role. The manager is also responsible for helping the council facilitate those policy-level discussions that they decide. The manager's role of the staff is to walk them through potential fiscal impacts or operational impacts. The decisions they may make is to provide the alternatives and make a recommendation. Once the mayor and council decide what those policy issues are they end up with 12,000 employees behind him or her and execute that. That's the board of directors we have. That's the council manager board of directors. The city manager is not a legal official. The city manager answers to councilman Hall and his colleagues and they point the hill and 12,000 of them is taken. I think that's important. I've found that to be a piece to reiterate as I'm doing with folks at these meetings. I'm excited that the mayor and council approved the ordinance last week. I take over responsibility of March 1st. February is a big transition month for us. I work for Cheryl for 13 years. She is a very results oriented and I've had an opportunity to professionally grow under debt. But this month is going to be a big transition for the organization. We're looking forward to the great team that we have in the city and delivering upon the directions of the mayor and council and hopefully interacting with the community. Although the mayor and council has set up a series of meetings going through this listening tour. This will be the last time you see me. I think it's important. What I've seen is that it's important to have that face time and understand what the issues are. We have a lot of employees and in every neighborhood association meeting you'll see a handful of safe officers or go to officers or maybe an animal care services officer. We're agreeing to the neighborhoods to make sure that I keep a good policy. Looking forward to it. Thank you. Two questions at once. If you have a party question and it can't get back, two questions and let it go. I'm a political in this position. That's my role is not a political position. Our role is to get stuff done. What can these first of all something the city council has adapted in terms of a certain portion of the budget which I love and it's a good idea. I say I think it's time to catch up. Awesome. So I'm wondering in the areas of the motions and what we need to do in the area to ensure that we have department of ads and black folks in positions of responsibility and that's a huge idea. That's a good question. So as one of the major employers of the city with over 12,000 employees as best as we can we should represent and look like the community we observe the city has continuously annually looks at those benchmarks throughout the city not just executives police officers, firefighters field staff and that's an annual thing that we do so that it helps lay out a free department. So every executive knows that this is the profile of the city or this is the profile of your department and here are the areas where you need to improve and getting that information to the departments that they do target improvements as they do outreach or internships as they do potential motions inside the departments that's all good information. And I don't have to stay changing this but one of the things that is a requirement for the annual evaluation of executives is how well they've kept up with that diversity. That's a good tool to measure and stick. I think our executives have done a good job at it but you know, Justin it's one of those things that you always got to keep your eye on because you can have people retire or leave any further comment and we can change. So that's why we look at that annually and make sure that there's more information and I'll keep that simple approach. Representative we'll get asked questions in a minute. First of all thank you for coming and being here in my district and the council's district. One thing you'd like to know and I just look at you and I see your heart and we're interested in leadership that understand the value of investing in human capital. Can we count on you to love big buildings and we want to start investing in the human capital so we can build capacity we can strengthen our children help our elderly before we lose in their homes and the homes around people can we count on you for that? Yes, but you know it's also important that I have to be remiss if I didn't know that I don't think any of the city elected officials, the mayor and council wouldn't disagree with that and I think it's a constant balance at the end of the day the manager's role is to be supportive and execute their vision while I'm entitled to my official opinions I'm in a professional role and of course there's a balance that needs to be struck on whole host issues and existing neighborhoods and new development or human capital versus workforce development public safety versus quality of life issues it's all a balance and that's part of the challenging part of this job but that's also part of the facilitating that conversation with the council and making sure that they've got that information the balance is always there it's probably always there when the council involves on the council previously that's that thought process that the council's body comes to as they do that direction so certainly I want to see this community not just community well but folks that live here too well and I think we've all got the same idea of what we want for future alright so let's get there cut the cake and take a slice from his way out but as he makes his way to the cake and out of the door let's see we also see staff a lot of city staff that are here this evening but they're here because they want to mention that they serve us and so for Eric to be here on his birthday I think that says a lot so I want to just give a little bit of a vision for what I see and what I'll probably come in over the next few months I guess right, representative Gerva Hawkins said he can have whatever ideas but at the end of the day to make sure that we have those sorts of objectives and ideas whether it be human capital whether it be affordable housing whether it be streets and infrastructure whether it be making sure that we continue economic development that drives you out of the capital and I'm hoping that the candidates that are here and that are elected will carry on that vision and drive and push and advocate because at the end of the day it does take a champion on council to champion particular issues and so candidates that are out there make sure that you pick one or two issues that you can champion and carry those ideas and policies all the way through while I'm here let me just also mention that one other candidate just came in keep the money if you could raise his hand I've introduced all the candidates that are here so people have asked me why did I apply and why am I here number one let me just say I've got a vision for district two just like anybody, any individual should but also any elected official should have and my vision is no different from anybody else's I live here just like you all do and I have a business here like you all do and I want a safe productive location to be able to raise my family shop, eat, do business, etc so those that vision is no different from anybody else we want an attractive location for not only our sales but also those people that we are we see out to business once and so beyond that as a person here that's only here for about four or five months it's going to be really difficult for me to implement a vision when I was a district head I had ideas two or three main things that I wanted to drive and push since I chose those things early and I strategized the entire time as to how to make that happen and push that agenda all the way through I'm not going to be able to do that in four or five months so the reason I'm here is to make sure that whatever strategy was already in place when a councilman saw them that we don't discontinue that momentum and so too often district 2 loses momentum number one but then number 2 we're not able to effectively carry out different policies and implantation so when I was appointed I was the fifth council member in this seat in five years and so for me that's a tragedy for district 2 because as representative German Hawkins can tell you you gain a lot simply by being in that seat for a certain amount of time and so your first six months or so are learning and once you get past that learning then you can really start working in equity but if we're constantly in the mode of learning nothing ever really gets done for district 2 so my main objective was to be able to take my same skillset that I had from district 8 and utilize them in district 2 for whatever issues that are here to make sure that we don't stop the business and don't stop the progress that district 2 had already gained at least until the last year when it happened and then the second reason is to make sure that we have a level playing field for all the candidates that are going to be running out there and so we'll have that complete list as I mentioned on the 15th and you'll hear from there when we're over the next four or five months but at that point all of them will have the same opportunity to run and to communicate with the district as to what their vision is and what their issues are and so I'm looking forward to being able to see the next city council member campaign over the next four or five months what I've also committed to is to make sure that I utilize macro to mentor and to show the candidates what city council is and particularly for those that don't know and to make sure that they have some exposure before they can get into the scene and so my staff is working once the 15th deadline comes my staff will look at all the candidates that are there and we're going to have a long one meeting with them and the team for a month and a third of the day so that we can walk through what I look forward and what I try to do as a city council member and so the issues that I face on a daily basis committees, time commitments etc. so that when they come into office and make a decision they just go on alright so the opportunity for me is to make sure that we mentor the next city council member for the district and that they have a leg up as opposed to other council members that are coming with that opportunity so for me it's about a district and making sure that we have good strong representation on day one on that intervention from the office and so that's kind of basically my vision for my service in the business for the next four or five months I do have a bigger business generally but I'll set it that side and make sure that we keep business moving on those two issues so that we can accomplish and the next four or five months but from there we're leaving it open to the next two city council members so those are my comments I'll take the two questions if they're burning I know we got question cards that are out there and we're going to take all those cards and we're going to look through them and respond to those questions individually I'll be around from now until 8 o'clock as well as my staff so if they're individual questions so there are two big questions I'll take those at this time because that's right a couple of announcements if there are announcements can those come forward Liz if there are any other announcements read those four so I'll take the first question I'm like the whole board building and I want to open you and the councilmen and the city manager everybody will join the board to make sure that the whole board building is honor abutment and that will provide I guess non-demolition that there will be a mechanism Yes ma'am Jackie Robinson in March of 1960 was a model of the non-violent integration of change and less power because we, for example, actually did that where people in the community can know it's equal to people because then everybody will have those non-smellers who cannot have that building demolished it has to remain there it has to be a symbol can of constitution and we can use it for that to go by history that also tells the story of how to exist in the Cisgaria you did not know that you survived and died at the Alamo and remind them that we exist in the woods with this Mexican flag and tell those people that they want to get Mexico Mexico had a power slavery and if they wanted to stay in Mexico they were going to have to agree that they were going to get out of this but they didn't get much that they used to if they still want to go to the war with a lot of slavery then you cannot let people be in this history and not tell them what to do Alright, thank you very much I think I pulled up the question that the Alamo Plaza is governed by the Texas Land Office and so some of those buildings there's an Alamo Plaza plan and some of those buildings have been discussed as potential for demolition I think that the old building my understanding that that plan is being amended so that the old building is not going to be as part of that demolition so I'm getting more information as we move forward Thank you We'll do that in a minute Thank you Sherwood Thank you for putting this together and bringing us together as a community I want to make this quick Two months ago a group of citizens in D2 got together more than a hundred few citizens got together and for the first time in a long time the northeast side and the east side and the middle east side there was representation from everybody so we seized an opportunity we had another meeting and we ended up coming up with the battle and anybody could join 30 people that wanted to be part of a steering committee that continues the community conversation we're coming D2 strong we have our first and the councilman who all doesn't know yet when he does find it doesn't notice everything Brian is going to help us out with that on the 23rd I'll pass these flyers out pass them on to anybody you know come if you can this is the first in a series of trying to get our needs and our desires to lead you back and I wish everybody that's running the best of success Thank you Organization What Betty learned many years ago was organization matters very tentatively organization matters and so when you come in groups as opposed to individuals you make much more of an impact one thing that industry A has that a lot of the other districts did have was we had the number one number of neighborhood associations and so those neighborhood associations when they come to council they spoke in volumes and so the same kind of process happens in district 2 when you speak through a neighborhood association it has the voices of a group it matters and so organizations like this and others are establishing that not just neighborhood association organizations but community organizations they matter as well so I encourage you all to as much as you can come and speak to individuals in the city council and even represent a group in groups because you have much more of an impact than that yes sir in the 2017 the money appropriated for a streamer path from eastern street north from San Francisco there was a 7.5 meters and some of the city staff said that all the design had something to do with what was appropriated I understand that from the spirit of being a citizen to being for the 2017 final we have to face it will you be addressing the lack of funds through the infrastructure manage private time the investment mobility because we believe that money will be spent to repair and fix the problems that come from eastern street north to west and they have a plan to put bus islands in place and have one lane traffic and then I'll put it into some type of communication meeting in the middle of it that's how we made a traffic jam it's going to take you a little bit of business and they are going to thrive tell me what your plans might be and what you're looking to do and be able to get that information about your future so one thing that I've been asked and I've had a committee with me we're looking at the entire bond package that was proposed to district 2 and otherwise what I'm asking my staff and city staff is to give me the timeline of what's already been accomplished and what is to be accomplished and if what we have requested and what was notified to the community is not in that package I'm going to be asking questions and so we'll be figuring out where we can get those money to make sure that we fund any gap between what was promised to district 2 what we either actually have already been given or has been planned so yes that's on our agenda that's one of those issues thank you alright so we'll take one more question alright if not representative garrison yes ma'am right so our question was about crime particularly by the crime let me say just a couple things first of all when I was in St. Louis College at Randall Dawson this year I was in St. Louis College there was a building that we were looking at and purchasing and so part of what we and I had to do research for and so part of the research I did was crime and what I would have found is that district 2 does not have the highest crime rates in the city the east side when we compared the east side association to the other associations in the city east side was probably 3rd or 4th and so the number 1 was 4th or 5th and the number 2 was I think 5th and so I think a lot of times there is a misconception that crime as high as here in district 2 and it's not where it is high is in the violent crime zone and those numbers are few but it's still higher than the normal and for me it doesn't look like any sort of crime, particularly if it's violent crime and so of course the police officers as much as we can to address violent crime issues one thing that worked a few years back is we had kind of what they call cat teams or focused teams and so these groups, these are big groups of officers that could go into targeted areas and focus in their resources on those targeted areas this may be an opportunity for us as district 2 to be able to push that sort of solution to the violent crime in the district so as much as I can as much as I can to help to push our police officers our safe officers to protect us from violent crime thank you I'll take one more question I'm going to ask one more question and I can come up and say a couple words and then we'll close that yes sir this overall transparency of the district in the district to make sure that they're safe and large so we know what's actually happening in our district just as these folks just in the streets we're not going to be told what's safe and large if there's a next time the transparency of the district works for a great deal a ton of elevations so how do we know how that's going to look like district 2 to know what information to see what we can find so really early on as a council member in the council members offices and I'll push this to all the candidates that are out there we should be on top of that number one and so we should be on top of whatever we're going to put in the budget whatever we're going to put in our in the bond funding to keep track of those items throughout the year and throughout the five years of the implementation for a bond project so that's what's coming up on the city council member to do that that may not have been happening because we had some turnover but over time we had five council members in five years in a position they lose track of bond funding and projects they lose track of even budget and projects etc so that's why it's coming on unequal to be able to choose good representatives and be happy for us during that time agreement so we've lost a little bit of that momentum so part of that is city council members pushing the agenda part of that is us as a community electing good folks to be able to serve to keep that continuity and keep that advocacy but then the other piece we have some systematic things that people have been in a long time ago such as citizens' advisory boards on bond projects in other areas and those individuals they look at those their job is to look at the bond projects and those bonds to make sure that we accomplish and implement what is set out to be so I think we have systematic opportunities that they can he's advocating to me just like I'll be advocating to make sure that we push so we have a little bit of both opportunities to be able to push on all sides we're going to close out with representative Herbert Hawkins and I'll be around my staff will be around thank you good evening everyone a couple of things I want to quickly address some questions about our violent crime this afternoon we've got to make a commitment to work together to make things different not just with these officers but with this community so when Liz came up and talked about her bid on the 23rd in terms of bringing community together that's your time to come and sit at the table and let's talk about some real solutions related to not only what the elected officials can do and what law enforcement can do but you as citizens when you can do also so we've got to have a wrong approach to our corrections here but we can get it done and we focus and I want to say this this will be a marathon not a sprint so you've got to be able to stick with it and make it happen the other thing I wanted to say is that councilman has reached out to me and I reached out to him and we're committed to work together so that a party's department we can look at each other's smile and say they should accomplish we want to be able to do that together and I have confidence to make that happen and then finally at the state level teachers will be getting an A-free show right up in that race both issues particularly in our schools looking at that as part of a safety measure that's going to be important one of the bills I'm championing this year is a tourniquet bill which will require schools to have a tourniquet kit in the building from what I've learned because I think we all know that the mass shooting is just going to be difficult to stop all together but what we can do is save lives and if we've got people trained on how to do tourniquets that will stop some of the deaths in terms of people bleeding out before they can get any help as well as these kids have a monitor so that as our first responders come they can go directly where the individual is so that's important we're going to learn about reform make criminal justice reform those are difficult things to talk about those are things we need to address I want to make sure that y'all are aware when these things come to the forefront so you can come up and testify and give your position on these things and finally I'd like to say this community you do not run for a public office unless you love the community you plan to serve and now we are on a trip District 2 we are no longer the victims and let's begin to take personal responsibility for what happened to our community let's own our decisions let's own our electricity let's own our boats and let's own District 2 staff District 2 staff District 2 staff alright so if y'all have any issues I'll be here so be sure to raise those questions with them and also District 2 candidates again if you guys can raise your hand I actually want to stand up District 2 candidates and so be sure to ask these individuals questions because in 5 months they're going to be right here in this spot and so we want to make sure that they represent the group we're talking about thank y'all for being here I'll stick around and we'll see you at the next one


So I'm Daniel Levy and I'm welcoming here to New America Foundation Jeremy Ben-Ami. Jeremy, you're here We're about to do the launching the official launching of your new book new voice for Israel Give me the very potted version of what you want the takeaway When people have finished this book and they say oh to be Clearly to me the takeaway is a call to action, you know that for those of us who? Care deeply about Israel and the future of the state of the Jewish people this is a critical moment and the future of the state really does hang in the balance and The call to action is we need to change the way American politics work when it comes to Israel and the voices of Moderate pro-Israel pro-peace Jews need to come to be heard Second the way the Jewish community works needs to change and we need to open up the conversation not silence voices of dissent Otherwise, we're gonna see the American Jewish community with her as well, but most importantly for the state of Israel the opportunity to be a Jewish and a democratic homeland hangs in the balance if Separation doesn't happen with the Palestinian people into two states now We may lose the chance for a viable to state solution and thereby I think lose the chance for a viable Israel Now you address those questions and you bring this book out not as a an Observer from the sidelines of all of these developments you brought this out three plus years now since founding Leading and being the driving force behind J Street When you reflect back on those three years What has impeded Not being able to get more progress Despite the great achievements that J Street has undoubtedly made well There's impediments on all fronts, you know I think number one you'd want to see a government of Israel that was going in a different direction So we are trying to help change the course of a country whose government is driving it off a cliff And so impediment number one is we're trying to help Re-steer a boat that is under someone else's control and so that's problem number one problem number two is I think here in this country the government the Obama administration has not been as assertive and Proactive as we might have hoped in trying to help make that change You know course correction take place and has been a little bit more Subject to the winds of politics than we might have hoped certainly it is Partly the American Jewish establishment that is not used to hearing dissent and not used to hearing Different voices and particularly not used to hearing criticism of the policies of the state of Israel Let's stick with that last theme the American Jewish establishment because you're not the first member of your family to be Pushing against the tide right And you go into this in your book and really you draw the analogy between your father whose politics on Israel were to the right of both of us to the revisionist Jabotinsky right-wing Zionist tradition, but here in the US The group that he was central to were going around the American Jewish establishment in the 30s and saying Get on board with the Zionist project Jews in Europe face a pending catastrophe And you draw the analogy to the message that you've been trying to Spread about the pending catastrophe that Israel faces How do you reflect back on that and say Is there more receptivity now or is the establishment as closed as it ever was? Well, I think it's absolutely fascinating parallel you know that in the 1930s and early 1940s those with Right of center politics and in some cases fairly far right of center politics were really trying to sound the alarm bell and saying disaster is looming and The establishment tried to shut down the voices of dissent the establishment was left of center was socialist Zionist And they attacked and smeared and libeled planted informants in the offices of Got my father drafted into the US Army In in 1943 all in an effort to shut down the voices of dissent And I find a similar dynamic today when those of us who are slightly left of center on this issue at least in the conventional political spectrum We are trying to sound that similar alarm and say that there is real trouble ahead and there really needs to be a change of course there needs to be action and an Establishment that is now right of center rather than engaging us on the substance of the issue is trying to smear us and cut off funding and Shut down the debate and shut off dissent and those dynamics are so parallel and it seems to be the knee-jerk response of establishment Entities to rather than engage the voices to actually shut them down We're gonna shut this conversation down now, but that's because we're gonna go across to the conference Excellent joined by Steve Clements, and we're gonna have a conversation with you Which everyone can also watch online great looking forward to it. Thank you very much for having and that's the book


the incredible youtube creator and filmmaker swoop just released such a powerful video right now about mental health and dealing with anxiety and depression and boy do we need to talk about it what is up everybody it's chris from the rewired soul where we talk about the problem but focus on the solution and if you are new to my channel my channel is all about helping you out with your mental health something i like to do is pull from different youtubers and different topics and try to teach you what you can do to improve your mental health so if you're into that kind of stuff make sure you subscribe hit that notification bell because i make a ton of videos like i make so many videos this is my second video today but i'm just so inspired because the youtube community is talking about mental health and i think that there's some things that you can definitely learn from swoop's video all right but anyways let me catch you up to speed so those of you who don't know who swoop is she had another youtube channel that was almost at like 600k viewers and uh something happened there was this youtube problem it was this weird bolt of lightning that they call it and her channel was getting no more views people couldn't see it so she made this new channel called swoop and it's her journey of recreating this thing i'm like man she puts in so much effort she is such an awesome filmmaker but anyways go check her channel out and i will link to her new video down below like she's talking about her struggles with anxiety and depression this is such a powerful video because she gets so vulnerable and she she's a great storyteller too and she's talking about how sometimes we feel like we always need to be okay and be perfect and all these other things but one of the things she did was she actually documented herself having a panic attack and you know one of the reasons that she did this was so she can learn from it and see what she can do to maybe calm it down and acknowledge these things and this is huge like i'm not saying that all of you should record your own panic attacks or anything like that but when you are in a dark headspace it does help to write things down like this is why a journal is so so so important it's important to write down your thoughts and see what's going on sometimes just letting it out helps to decrease the anxiety and depression like i know for me personally when i write and when i journal and things like that i can see that these thoughts are not part of me they are not just me this is not my full identity there's this thing called non-identification and i'm gonna talk more about that in just a second but it's about separating you from your mental illness or separating yourself from that negative voice in your head the one that's saying that you're not good enough or there's these things to worry about and all sorts of stuff it's so important to separate yourself from that and have a conversation okay now something that swoop also documented was that she called her mom like yes yes yes girl yes like this is something that i've been talking about a ton to all of you like reach out and ask for help it doesn't matter like i know i i suggest that you guys you know try therapy like it is important to work with a professional because sometimes people who try to help us you know they don't know how to help but it sounds like swoop if you see this girl tell your mom she's awesome like her mom was great during this like if you need a lesson on how to help somebody during a panic attack listen to what swoops mom was telling her and boom like that's how it's done just reassuring letting her know you know uh that she is amazing she's great and all these other things and that that's just the negative voice in her head so the second thing to take from swoops video is reach out and call somebody when you're going through this let them know that you're not doing okay so something that her mom also said and swoop kind of came to that realization was that like she would never ever in her life be as down on somebody else as she is on herself and absolutely absolutely like i know i talked to you guys a lot about meditation but there's an amazing type of meditation called loving kindness and not only does it help you know build more compassion and empathy towards the rest of the world but it's also to ourself i made a video a long time ago when i have like less than a thousand subscribers i'm gonna link it up here it's a guided meditation about self-compassion and self-love and you really need to check it out it can help you get out of that negative headspace because basically what this meditation is is that you take those loving kindness feelings that you would project on to maybe your son or your daughter or your animal like a cat or a dog or your friends or your family and then you switch it and you focus it on yourself and it helps to retrain your brain to be a little bit nicer to yourself but something that swoop did at the end of this video is something that each one of you can do buy a journal for a dollar i beg of you all right what she did at the end of this video was she wrote a letter to you but was really for herself too this is a great great writing exercise like how would you treat someone else who's going through this how would you treat someone who thinks that they're not good enough that they're not pretty enough or handsome enough what would you tell them all right write those things down and i hope swoop took this ripped it out of her journal and put it right up on her like bathroom mirror or her nightstand or something like this can be very very therapeutic and i highly recommend that you all do this and swoop is on a mission since she had to recreate her channel she's been doing collabs with other people by the way swoop if you see this i'm always down to collab let's talk about mental health together but anyway she's trying to do

In this video, we'll go over how to connect Bookmap to Cedro. Please note that there are two ways to get Cedro MBO data. You can get access to Cedro by getting the Brazil starters or Brazil Premium subscription. Click the link in the description to purchase these packages. If you're looking to get the data from the US market as well, or if you're looking to get more advanced features, you need to get Global or Global Plus subscription and get a separate product just for the Cedro data. We have special upgrades to Global and Global Plus for starter and premium package users. For more details, please contact Bookmap support. Let's connect to Cedro. Please note that you need the latest Bookmap version <IP_ADDRESS> and greater. The first step is to check if you have the Cedro adapter installed. To do this, go to Settings then Manage Plugins. Make sure the Cedro plugin is installed. If you don't have the adapter installed already, scroll down to find the list of adapters that are not installed and install it. If you had to install the adapter, please restart Bookmap. If you didn't, like me, you can continue. Now, after checking we have the plugin installed, let's establish the connection. Click on Connections, then Configure and Add a connection. Then, in the Platform drop-down window, select MBO Cedro. Type the credentials sent to you via email after registration and click OK. Let's go back to Connections and select our new connection. Now that the connection is established, the next step is to add an instrument. I'll give an example for a stock instrument and another for a futures instrument. Let's start with stocks. Click on the plus tab, select Cedro under Platform and either type your symbol or choose it from the drop-down list. Let's type Vale 3 and hit Subscribe. With futures, the steps are similar. Click on the plus tab, choose Cedro under Platform and select your symbol. You can either type it in or choose it from the drop-down list. To type in your symbol, first type the contract type, the month code and then the last two digits of the year. For example, WinQ23 for the mini-index September 2023. Once you choose your symbol, hit Subscribe. If you're unsure how to type in your symbol, click the link above for a detailed video. Now that the connection is established and we have an instrument open, we're ready to use Cedro data.
