What is up everybody jason here for jasper's case breaks calm We just sold all jasper's baseball is back mlb repack, which is a dual case break random teams number one guys So again 12 total boxes plus a little hit list promo guys, so we curated this ourselves We created it. We packed it here in house at jasper's There are some of the bigger hits sell sheet hits that you could be looking out for throughout the 14 cases Now again guys Very similar to hit parade but ours is just a little difference since there's only six cards per case Only 12 total hits are popping out per break So obviously like I said a little bit of high risk high reward, of course 14 cases total made so it'll be a total of seven breaks in this run Then again guys we get to offer a hit list promo. That's what I like about us when we get to do it ourselves Again at the end of the break We'll take all the hit list names and randomize them top two names win a hundred and fifty dollars back each in break Credit to use on whatever you'd like and again it should remember guys since it is a repack product like hip parade, you know Each team has at least one card throughout the product run But just know though, of course some hits some product some teams will get hit early in the run So which meaning that sometimes those teams might not be the best team anymore So please keep that in mind when buying of course And like I said, we have 14 cases so we'll generate two numbers I have all the cases right here actually so you can see them all and we'll generate two numbers after we do the List of names and teams and then we'll do the break guys. So good luck. Here we go. So let's roll it six and a five eleven times guys 11 one two three four five six seven eight nine ten eleven eleven times six and a five eleven Francis down to Russell. All right six five eleven eleven one two three four five six seven eight nine ten eleven Eleven times eleven eleven Phillies down to the Dodgers Bring them all big All right, so Francis you have the Phillies weighed with the Cubs Co with the Rays Roger with the Cardinals Trent with the Royals Jimmy of the Reds Tram with the Orioles Co with the Blue Jays Eugene with the Marlins Kirk with the A's Nicholas with the Padres Chad B with the Mariners Jimmy with the Astros Robert with the Yankees Josh with the Rangers Chris parent with the twins Bear with the Diamondbacks Darren with the Brewers Yo-ha with the Angels Darren with the Red Sox Nicole with the Giants last bomb all Joe Jamie got in from the filler there with the Braves Eugene with the Guardians Matt D with the White Sox Matthew Wood with the Rockies Jimmy with the Pirates Eugene with the Tigers Jimmy with the Mets Cody with the Nationals and then Russell with the Dodgers Also, I know do this for like four goals. Hope it's our house like two of them All right, so there's the names and the teams there What I'm also gonna do two guys is I'm gonna actually Put the names here on this side as well. That's how I'm gonna keep track of what Play with what teams have hit and which ones haven't actually Let me delete this first Let me print this out first actually. Well, actually, let's wait to see if there's any trades actually because I guess there could be some trades All right, if you guys want to trade, I'll give you guys a quick minute. All right, I guess maybe no trading then Matt's the only one Why talks for trade? All right, let's do what you got then guys Close that and then like I said, I'm gonna keep track right here guys of what Players hit what did it and then I guess I will randomize the two names or randomize the names after The breaks over also, let's generate two numbers. So I have one through 14 right here Let's generate two case numbers first one's gonna be 14 You see right here. Awesome. I'll grab that right now. And then the second case is 13 14 right here So 13 and 14 so I'll leave a little Sweet Here we go guys Obstitute guys. I don't know if you guys seen the 13 just take all these boxes this way for the big hit express All right, all right. I'm just gonna use this for now Just kind of cover up the potential hit First one we got It's a buster posey now There's a similar buster posey. That's a case hit it looks like but that one is like a purple to three or five This one I believe is just a base But still a nice hit right there though for the Giants Again, let me show the list again there Giants is Nicole last bomb. Oh, Joe. There you go on the board Next one. Oh, wow About a little 1951 tops Autograph there of Luba four out of 51. I think these are 51 or 52 tops. I think it might be 51 though, but Definitely around that time White Sox That is gonna go to Matt We got the White Sox try to trade couldn't trade mojo. All right, next one We have a Bobby with jr. Four out of 25 For the Royals Kansas City Royals that's going to Trent. All right, next one. We've got a greater card Chase still otter chrome draft picks PSA 10 Which was a first-round pick 16th overall in 2022 Cleveland Guardians that's going to Eugene who got that from Bowman Platinum number one. All right, two more to go here guys How about a Ken Griffey, Jr? Three out of three and that is a case hit right there Three out of three. Look at that Cincinnati Reds Jimmy And Jimmy I definitely be doing better with you than your brother though There you go. You got a case it Griffey's a Griffey Jimmy If you want, I'll keep it if you don't want it Last one here and we go to the next case Tatis, Jr. Little jumbo bat relic out of 20 seven out of 20 Padres going to Nicholas There you go, Nick I know All right, then here's case 14 guys All right, here we go next one. Whoa Dan's me Swanson Is this even a chaser? about a majestic flex Tag an autograph one-of-one for the Braves Jamie with the Braves. I don't think that's a cell sheet is it? I don't see it. Damn It's pretty nice though. All righty next case. Whoo Jackson Churrio nice one one out of 25 Sapphire selections from 2023 Bowman Chrome, and it's a PSA 10 as well Very nice for the Milwaukee Brewers. That's going to Darren. That's pretty sweet. All right next one Sandy Covax, look at that 14 finest great autographs black refractor That's five out of 99 and a graded a gem plus two all nine fives plus a ten nine five ten for the great Sandy Covax and the Dodgers run a Russell and That is cell sheet hit number two Very nice. Very nice And we got Miguel Cabrera for Detroit four out of 30 Detroit Tigers going to Eugene. No, don't fall Don't fall. Don't fall. I'll keep you there All right, two more boxes guys. Wow. How about a little Nolan Ryan for the Texas Rangers? Going to Josh s with the Rangers that is a four out of 25 Very nice and the stuff is pretty nice guys. I mean I get it obviously only 12 hits though. So Less than half of you guys will get something, but it is a pretty sweet product guys. I will say so far Last hit of the break guys Samuel Zavala, which wasn't he just traded? Black snakeskin Pulsar PSA 10 one of one Nicholas with a Padres I think he was a top prospect as well. All righty guys. Well, I was supposed to keep track as I went But I guess we do it now so Padres Take out the Padres name Texas Rangers Detroit Dodgers Russell's out We got brewers Darren's out of that one Braves Jamie's out of that Tatis That's actually man. Padres actually had a couple hits Reds Jimmy's out chased the lauder.

comments or questions and I don't have to break the ice because Sweden as the chair of the next global forum the GFMD has asked for the floor first so I will give the floor to Ambassador Eva Ackermann Borhev the chairperson of the GFMD. You have the floor. Thank you very much Mr. Chairman and I would be inclined in joining the A-men and now I have to maybe apologize in advance for becoming a little bit more practical in my remarks about three issues that I would like to take up as a follow-up to these excellent and inspiring presentations. I'd like to comment on very shortly on the outcome of the high-level dialogue regarding the issue of international governance on the post 2015 development agenda and the governance element of the work that we're doing there as well as also shortly touch on the global migration group and the global forum from a governance perspective. So as the chair of the global forum on migration and development Sweden was very encouraged by the high degree of common understanding of the importance of migration and development expressed at the meeting in New York last month. On the substantive discussions the Swedish chair was delighted to see the overwhelming support expressed for the inclusion of migration in the post 2015 development agenda as this is indeed also a main priority for the global forum program. We also noted the strong emphasis on the protection of human rights of migrants, the portability of skills and recognition of qualifications, migrants in crisis among other very important issues that were raised and that we are committed to follow up also in the global forum work stream. On the issue of governance I think that as you have pointed out there was no new institutional arrangements for the governance of international migration that were decided or came out of the high-level dialogue. Instead we will have to work with the existing structures and I am very optimistic that much can be done. As the global forum chair Sweden welcomes the very strong support expressed for the continued leadership of the special representative of the secretary general on migration Mr. Peter Sutherland to advance the global debate and improve our collective handling of the issues of migration and development. It's very positive that the secretary general tasked Peter Sutherland to convene regular meetings with the leadership of the global forum and the global migration group to identify shared priorities and obviously governments will continue to set the agenda for the state-led global forum but I believe that there is great scope for identifying shared priorities, capacity building needs and capacity building needs of governments and areas of cooperation between governments and the global migration group both in the collection of evidence base for the global forum meetings and in the voluntary follow-up of the global forum recommendations and outcomes. This can potentially be a very important step to continue the trust building exercise and to get away from the false dichotomy of being inside or outside the UN system or sometimes what is sometimes staged as an opposition between those who are for or against human rights or for and against economic and social development. With regard to the global migration group more specifically we saw that the high-level dialogue welcomed the initiative that the group has taken to strengthen its cooperation and coordination and I believe that further efforts can be made to improve the work of the group to strengthen coordination and synergies on migration and development. In this regard we appreciate the constructive efforts by IOM and we look forward to engaged with the incoming chair ILO to see how this progress can be furthered. We also support a more inclusive role of IOM in the global migration group in order to ensure stronger continuity and solid migration expertise across the chairmanship. Indeed the high-level dialogue also signal a strong recognition of the leadership of IOM in the field of migration. Now just a comment on the inclusion of migration in the post 2015 agenda as an important aspect also for policy coherence within the system. Sweden believes that this could contribute very greatly to governments and development actors efforts to plan for and act upon the opportunities and challenges that migration brings. In particularly we think that it could contribute to the collective efforts of the United Nations and other international organizations including IOM to bring migration into their analysis, planning and monitoring efforts at country level. In fact we believe this would generate more collaboration among the relevant agencies and I was very encouraged by the statement by the Deputy Secretary General Mr. Eliason when he was calling now also in this intervention to migration to be an integral part of the post 2015 development agenda. And in this regard I would also like to highlight that Sweden is working very in close cooperation with Peter Salladand when we are hosting a side event on this issue in New York on the 10th of December in partnership with the governments of Mexico, Bangladesh, Switzerland as well as the global migration group and the special representative and indeed he has already mentioned this event and we hope for great participation in that of course by all relevant actors. Mr. Chairman lastly to come to the global forum and I will not dwell on that but I would just like to raise the issue of the global forum also as a governance issue. We were encouraged of course by the Secretary General in introductory speech at the high level dialogue when he pointed out that many of the advances made since 2006 was a too great deal to be attributed to the climate of trust that has been established by the global forum. And of course we think that this is an issue that we should continue to discuss what is the relevance of the global forum in the future government governance puzzle to be laid. And of course one of the big important pieces of the puzzles are the regular meetings between the leadership of the global forum and the global migration group under the leadership of the special representative. So before closing I would like to extend the global forum chair's gratitude to the global migration group for its support to the GFMD process and to IOM in particular as the chair and as the host of the support unit for the global forum. We look very much forward to continue our common work and lastly of course I would like to point out that we see an urgency in the continuation of the debate on future governance of international migration and I cannot think of any better leaders for this debate than the gentleman on the podium here this morning. Thank you very much Mr. Chairman. Thank you thank you very much Ambassador and thank you also for the great work that Sweden is doing under your leadership to prepare us for the next global forum in the spring of this coming year. We look forward to continuing to try to support you in any way that you consider appropriate. I'd like to go on to the next speakers on the list but before I do so I want to recognize the presence of Mr. Guy Ryder the director general of the International Labor Organization our neighbor next door. Mr. Wright please if you're comfortable there fine we're also happy to have you join us on the podium. Thank you very much lovely to have you. Yeah we also have Mr. Sven Alkalage here from the UN Economic Commission for Europe who's already on the podium with us waiting for the next panel. I'm also my I have two more speakers right now on the list ICMC and UNDP so I think I see John are you there if so go ahead please you have the floor. Thank you chair the International Catholic Migration Commission we like to say amen we're fairly fairly good at it I think. So ICMC at the invitation of Mexico, Switzerland, Mauritius and Sweden has been organizing global civil society global forum these past recent years with the officer the president of UN General Assembly asking us to do a similar role at the high-level dialogue this year so if you allow me I'll just speak broadly as a representative of civil society to the issue of the high-level dialogue and action forward. We agree and actually are quite stunned that the big story at this high-level dialogue was strong convergence on so many important issues across the board. We saw civil society's five-year eight-point plan converge with Secretary General Ban Ki-moon's eight points Peter Sutherland's 10 points IOM's six points and crucially the high-level dialogue outcome government declaration and we've prepared on the back tables a one-page matrix it's just a checklist of that convergence it's quite quite impressive. Now that that convergence didn't happen however without leadership and co-leadership your institution Deputy Secretary General Eliason with the unsinkable Peter Sutherland your agencies Director General Swing and Rider among others your governments very much Mexico consistently also Sweden Switzerland the Philippines Turkey the Netherlands Bangladesh the US the EU Morocco Germany France others and civil society so just want to say thanks for that leadership but now the next step that we've been talking about so much here this week and another for with the first eye on the well-being of migrants their families and whole healthy societies we need the big houses the big houses of migrant origin transit and destination to assure assert leadership and where it makes sense co-leadership in particular IOM UNHCR UNDP ILO the High Commissioner for Human Rights UNICEF and UNODC a leadership and co-leadership that's appropriate to mission-driven issues connecting always but not getting bogged down in GMG or other inter-agency mechanisms unless the evidence shows they are effective or can be made so inter-agency consensus is not always a virtue surely convergence is enough and critical mass will do it the same is true for governments and civil society we are ready a civil society already working with you every day globally and on the ground and co-responsible with you that's why we admitted that the eight points would take five years and collaboration we have been struck chair we struck this week with your wisdom and determination director general saying again and again we've got to go forward the issues of pressing will move together with others when we can but we can't wait indeed that reflects the urgency in the waters off Lampedusa but comparable suffering and tragedies 24 365 on other sea and desert crossings while we've been meeting this week another boat went down this time from Haiti another 30 drowned 100 reportedly hanging on to the side of the boat for days millions of men women and children moved sold and trapped by human traffickers human being suffering by the millions at workplaces of all kinds including homes with some 50 million domestic workers most of whom are migrant women and the disaster of xenophobia and xenophobic genocide so to close if you allow civil society has three questions broadly to the un system and to iom first civil society asks what really about migrants not just in conflict and natural disaster situations but migrant victims of violence and trauma in transit second institutionally civil society asks we need more of un dp in these migration and development processes they're so good and who they've put there is so fine we need more second what is the plan for iom to give full consideration to a more formal and clear institutionalization of protection as a core mandate of its mission and work or the possibility to move from de facto to de jure part of the un family in language we know very well from these processes in recent years maximizing the positives and minimizing the negatives that might otherwise come with that and lastly civil society asks i think a question similar to what the sweetest chair of the gfmd was just speaking to towards how do we pick up at last and together the question of complementary global migration government governance which evidence-based and sensible to genuine state sovereignty rises to the challenges of globalization here civil society's sixth point for five years of work ahead of us all calls for quote redefinition of the interaction of international mechanisms of migrant rights protection which recognizes the roles of the gfmd and gmg albeit limited revives emphasis of the distinct mandate of the ilo for worker protection and more coherently aligns protection activity of the agencies i mentioned earlier these next five years we can together rediscover that the end to globalized indifference is localized response that guides repair of the whole system that's where we converge thank you thank you thank you very much very thoughtful presentation there i want to very appropriately now give the floor to the chair of the global forum in 2015 the distinguished delegate of turkey thank you very much we would like to thank deputy secretary general aderson and special representative satterland for sharing their valuable views with us actually my ambassador will be arriving very soon and delivering his statement after the high level part of the council actually we would like to emphasize that we attach importance to the integration of migration into post 2015 development agenda in this respect we will assume as ambassador swing said the chairmanship of the gfmd after sweden we hope that our work in this capacity will help us build further and successful work carried out by the old chairs of the gfmd i thank you thank you next speaker is the undp representative you have a floor spiring patience and i cannot but join in pleading of the former speakers thank you mr. director general distinguished delegates first i wish to congratulate the two keynote speakers on their important and inspiring presentation and i cannot but not join in the omen of former speaker i also wish to thank ion for its able leadership okay i'll try with this one and i will not repeat myself but thank you for giving me the floor mr. director general i wish to thank iom for its able leadership of the global migration group or which undp is a committed member undp welcomes the focus on concrete follow-up steps to the high level dialogue including the delivery of results against the secretary general's eight point action agenda as well as the close collaboration with the special representative of the secretary general the global forum and with civil society we welcome the constructive tone and outcomes of the high level dialogue discussions particularly the support expressed by member states for integrating migration into the post-2015 development agenda undp is contributing to the informal working group that supports mr. sutherland and interested member states on this topic together with iom we have been early proponents of joint gmg involvement and positioning to promote migration in the post-2015 process we see the post-2015 agenda as an opportunity to achieve two things firstly a commitment to a global partnership approach to international migration that in the absence of global governance architecture would provide a guiding vision to the multiple fora and processes that exist in this field secondly the post-2015 agenda is the chance to ensure that no person and no migrant is left behind a global commitment to addressing inequalities through the systematic disaggregation of development data and outcomes for vulnerable groups should go hand in hand with national and international commitments to monitor and improve the human development outcomes and rights of migrants and refugees everyone should have the right to live in dignity undp is working closely with iom and other gmg partners in supporting national and local governments in their efforts to mainstream migration into development planning improving capacities for data collection and analysis for monitoring of migration and development trends and the assessment of programs and policies emerge as consistent challenges and priorities our joint iom undp program on mainstreaming migration international development strategies is set to enter into a larger second phase next year with continued support from the swiss government it helps countries carry out situations situation assessments identifies policy priorities establishes establishes inclusive coordination mechanism and develops integrated migration and development strategies as expressed in a corporate memorandum of understanding we are working with iom in a range of other areas indeed around the world undp's engagement on migration is always in cooperation with others we will continue to bring our development expertise and networks to these partnerships and we look forward to playing a continuously active role in a more outcome-oriented gmg in support of the gfmd process and to highlight migration in the post 2015 discussions thank you thank you very much i believe we've exhausted the list of speakers now unless i see the signs otherwise if i may perhaps i could call on srsg southerland to any comments on these presentations and maybe then ask the deputy secretary general to close the session thank you sir i've very little more to say uh because i think that there appears to be a widespread consensus from what we have heard about the importance of the agenda for the future i would simply underline two points that have come through first of all the global forum remains a very important part of the process as has been noted that is brought about a growing consensus amongst the member states here secondly the challenges are increasingly evident in the developed world in terms of a lack of understanding of the importance and positive value of migration as opposed to the more obvious effects of a populist response which is negative to the whole principle of migration the clear evidence which is unambiguous and general that migration actually helps economic development in the countries of destination is something that governments have to advocate they have to come forward with their arguments domestically in order to contest the negative and sometimes racist perceptions that have been generated in regard to migration in some areas and this is really what this whole process of dialogue evidence today evidenced in the high-level dialogue and evidenced in the GFMD is fundamentally about a recognition using the word reflected in the comments of the deputy secretary general in particular recognizing the dignity of man and the equality of man in broad terms the fundamental concepts which drove the creation of the united nations in the first instance and which is fundamental to civilization thank you very much if i may now turn to the deputy secretary general for to close out our session thank you thank you very much mr. chairman it's been a pleasure to be with you today i have very much treasured the comments made by my colleague and friend Peter Sutherland i think his important warnings about attitudes is very important are very important in the day and age when we see so many signs of dividing humanity and to us and them in different areas i have dealt the last one half year with several of the world conflicts and the elements of sectarian ethnic divides are extremely strong and unfortunately we see reflections of this also in this debate in the world around the world we have to shift the attitude to migrants from this negative angle that very often is the case into a positive one because it has such deep implications we have to never we must never depart from the basic premise that all our work is based on the equal value of all human beings if we start to stray from that on one aspect we are on a slippery slope so therefore i take very seriously that that that warning and i liked the expression used by the representative of civil society when he talked about getting away from global indifference if you should move from global indifference to global engagement to even global solidarity on the 2015 which is also within my responsibility under the secretary general i i think it's the work ahead is going to be very much in the hands of member states your colleagues in new york will be very busy and ministries will pass on instructions to their colleagues negotiating in new time i hope also that your governments will see the post 2015 development agenda in a wider perspective you need to involve businesses of finance energy agriculture environment it's an concern for all parts of the government and of course ministers of migration i think the the agenda will be in two parts one is that we unfortunately will have unfinished business of the present mgs let us not forget that we we have almost two years left to finish the present the achievement is spelled out in the present goals and we have made progress on some counts like education so very very encouraging development in that area but then there is there are areas where we are making far less progress i can just mention two areas one is maternal health and the second one is sanitation huge gap between realities and the goals so we have unfinished business to do the second area where migration comes in is to adapt to what i would call the new global landscape we have a new global landscape in so many regards we have the enormity of of migration as compared to past history we have the enormity of urbanization 60 percent of humanity will live in cities in the next four five years we have unfortunately also other phenomena the the role of organized crime in today's world we have used unemployment which i hope is not systemic i hope that guy writer will perhaps give us some more hopeful sides on that but it looks very bad and it has enormous implications doesn't it on social and political cohesion in societies we have a wonderful rise in the role of women in the world which unfortunately it has not been the case in past history so here we have a number of areas where we have to adapt in such a way that united nations in my case and other international organizations iom and others will have to be relevant in this new global landscape and in many of these areas that i just mentioned we do have yes organizations dealing with it but we need i think more of cohesion more of cooperation more of dynamics between the different actors in this new global landscape and i think a great challenge for the negotiators on the post-2015 development agenda will be to make sure this new global landscape enters the the discussions the discourse that is necessary if we are to have a realistic road ahead on the period from 2015 to 2030 and i for one believe very much that migration is an indispensable part of that debate but it is very much in the hands of member states so it is for you to communicate to your governments to your colleagues in new york i guess where the final negotiation will take place probably in the spring of 2015 preceded of course by the work done now by this special working group on sustainable development goals which will finish their preparatory work in february and then go into a more active negotiation phase until next fall but i think there will be another negotiation closer to 2015 and that's where i hope that we have all contributed to this wider debate where we reflect the new global landscape and show that we as international organizations can prove that we can play an effective role and that we by that can say to the world that international cooperation is important and relevant if we don't pass this grade if we don't do this then we feed the tendencies that peter and others have mentioned here because there will be those who say well international organizations cannot deliver let's look inward let's find our own solutions and that would be very dangerous in today's world where i think international cooperation is an absolute necessity i would say i would go as far as to say in today's global world global community international cooperation international solutions to these global issues whether it is migration or climate change whatever the international solutions are in fact in the national interest international solutions in today's world are basically in the national interest we have a long way to go to reach full understanding of that but the moment we do you can imagine how much easier things will be in parliamentary debates with the reflections from editorial writers and public opinion but i think it's basically true and relatively easy to prove so here is the role of advocacy that was mentioned earlier by both still and peter i think is to be taken very seriously we have to prove the point that international solutions are necessary but that they're also basically in the national interest thank you very much thank you very much i think that we are concluding not only on time but with an abundance of inspiration and encouragement taking heart from what's come out of the high-level dialogue and taking a vision forward given to us both by these wonderful interventions today by our two speakers here i would like to thank you both very much for the insights your wise counsel and and pointing us in the right direction here because we're clearly at a at on the cusp of something new here and getting ourselves lined up for this new global landscape we since you are joining us today and we had their report on tuesday we have outlined a five-year program under the title of continuity coherence and change and i think that's all been covered in your remarks we continue to do those things which have worked well for us and we try to increase the total amount of the degree of cooperation in the international community and then look for ways to innovate to get ourselves much more in line with the the new global landscape and i think the precautions that the srsg has laid out today need to be of concern to all of us because there is i'm sorry to say not a lot of political courage out there on the issue of migration it doesn't easily bring in votes and we're going to have to do a job of helping governments to find the courage to talk about the inevitability the necessity and the desirability of large-scale migration in our times so i believe there are a lot of elements left today for food for thought for all of us here both in terms of follow-up to the high-level dialogue and we cannot leave the declaration standing we now need to go to action and we will also look to the working group on iom un relationships and the 12-point strategy to give us further guidance for the way ahead and the changes we need to make because the ultimate success of the high-level dialogue is now going to depend on concrete action and if we don't go to action it will all probably have been somewhat in vain so i think that at one point or the other one of both of our speakers will have to leave us i think the deputy secretary general has to leave a little closer to noon but feel free to depart when you have to we'll we'll forget to see you leave but i know you have other obligations and i think that the srsg can stay with us for the next session and he has an obligation after that so if i may then just the segue


Okay, well good afternoon everyone And I think I think this presentation has a nice kind of natural progression from the previous two one because James provided this quite Kind of macro perspective of what's going on across the region and these macro trends and Luke's kind of then focused it on six countries And then I'm gonna delve even deeper into one country specifically in Nigeria Which I think is a nice follow-through given Luke shown that's that's shown the fastest exit from agriculture And then secondly this progression from you know talking about agriculture and the role of youth there to thinking more broadly about the role of youth and the broader food system So this work is something I usually don't do it's basically providing some early descriptive Analysis of a survey that we've just recently completed in Nigeria not specifically focused on the youth It was focused more generally on the informal food sector, but as we looked more into the data We did see some interesting youth patterns that that I'll talk to about in just a minute. I just first want to take a step back and contextualize why looking specifically at urban informal food trade So first why looking at informal trade overall? And I think this is when we hear a lot about structural change in Africa and particularly work of Danny Rodrick and Maggie McMillan recently There's this talk about you must must much of the structural change has been out of agriculture into this kind of low productivity informal economy And so this is a bit of a concern that though we have some structural change It's not necessarily in high productivity jobs is in the informal sector And why we looking at the urban area? Well youth are seen to be because of life-cycle effects that that Luke was talking about There seem to be disproportionately more likely to migrate to urban areas looking for new opportunities And finding them predominantly in the informal economy. We know the most recent ILO reports tells us within urban Africa the within the non non ag sector the informal economy is the predominant source of employment and Food is the major share of employment within informal Trade it's one of the largest segments of the informal economy. So I think we have You know a good justification for looking at well, what are kind of the livelihoods of? those working in this sector and Finding out if it is disproportionately a sector in which the youth are concentrated in I Also just want to justify a little bit why we're looking at Nigeria Well, I think James started out with this graphic You know showing this this large population growth in sub-Saharan Africa Nigeria's undoubtedly playing a huge role in some of that population growth given its size We know for policymakers in Nigeria that urban youth on and underemployment is a huge issue Particularly this rhetoric of around underemployed young men You know being mobilized for Boko Haram in the northeast and also in the southeast into the Niger Delta gangs So it's certainly an important policy issue in Nigeria of Those in the informal sector the labor force survey for Nigeria shows that about 41% are in Retail tree in and then this kind of informal food sector is really the source of Food security for about two-thirds of the population So despite a lot of the excitement about supermarkets that we saw about 15 years ago about the growth of supermarkets in Africa We're still seeing quite a large share about two-thirds of the population in Nigeria But we're seeing about equivalent rates throughout Africa still sourcing from informal secateurs And so when I'm talking about the informal food sector, I'm talking about street hawkers I'm talking about those in informal markets often trading with relatively poor drainage Relatively poor sanitation facilities and so you also have huge food safety concerns as well In Nigeria you see that and actually this is quite true across the region But in Nigeria because it's a federal system you see a lot of variation Within states in terms of their policies towards informal vending most have quite harsh policies towards vending It's seen as being, you know, it's often deemed illegal to be trading on the streets You have a lot of low-level extortion and bribes from police officers of traders trying to make a living In Niger State, there's been repeated demolitions of market stalls that are seen to be unfit or on land That was demarcated for other property development But you do have a little bit of variation So in cross river state, they recently implemented this hawkers rights bill giving greater protection to those who are trading on the street So in terms of methodology My colleagues and I at IFPRI we surveyed 1100 traders in two of Nigeria's secondary cities Mina, which is in Niger State and in kind of the Northwest And Calabar, which is in the southeast and cross river state And we wanted to really focus on these two cities because a lot of the work on Nigeria is primarily focused on Lagos There's hardly much work outside of Abuja on secondary cities So of course in Nigeria, you know a secondary city is is huge comparatively I mean we're talking about 350,000 or 400,000 people, which is quite large comparatively But when you're comparing to a Lagos of 10 million people, it's definitely seen these are definitely seen as secondary cities And we chose these two cities in particular because of so much variation between them When we talk about kind of African youth We we have these broad generalizations And I think and then Luke's starting to show some of the variation across country now We're just trying to even see sub-nationally what type of variation we have amongst the youth And so I mean two key issues here is that we have strong variation in terms of kind of sociocultural background Mina is a heavily Muslim city and Calabar is a heavily Christian city These are also two very different political strongholds in terms of votes Mina is very supportive of the ruling party and Calabar is very supportive of the the PDP that may have some implications for policies and trust in government and then the regulatory setting is quite different as I just mentioned in cross river state Or Calabar is they had this hawkers bill that was recently implemented But in Niger state, they're kind of known for large-scale demolitions of stalls What we did is we tried to stratify between those who are located in Established markets and those who are just trading on pavements and streets and we did that because those who are usually on the pavements and streets typically are not Don't have enough money to kind of pay that kind of local government taxes that they need to be in the markets They often can't afford a stall in the formal markets and therefore they're typically based on kind of our theoretical understanding Typically more exposed to harassment by the government So we wanted to stratify by that characteristic to see if we actually get that variation in our sample We focused on traders in three Types of food groups. We have those focused on fresh food. So, you know, fresh fruits and vegetables Those focused on prepared foods.  These are more kind of manufactured often imported food goods that they're selling and again, this was to see if there's some type of variation particularly if there's some type of variation in terms of harassment or socioeconomic status in terms of what people are selling Okay, so we're asking just four questions pretty simple questions from the data again It's just some broad descriptive work To kind of motivate some further analysis. So the first is just looking from a demographic perspective Are traders disproportionately young? And when I look at the youth in Africa, I typically like to break it up into two age categories One is 18 to 24 24 is the cutoff that the UN uses for the youth They use 15 to 24 but for ethical reasons We're only allowed to survey from 18 to 24 and then the African Union uses 34 years old As the cutoff for youth. So I often like to see if there's any any variation. That's 18 to 34 is a huge age group So I like to kind of see if there's any variation between those and when we're looking at traders in particular, we do see That when we're talking about youth being in this informal food trade sector We're not really talking about the youngest here are 18 to 24 year olds But it does tend to be about a third of our traders in both cities are in this this 25 to 34 group So this kind of older of the youth group. I think what's really important is the gender dimension here When we talk about youth, there does seem to be this implicit Emphasis on men male youth and I think that's because of policy concerns about what it means to have underemployed or unemployed male youth But you know the food sector in general in Africa tends to be the livelihood predominantly of women And we find this in our in Calabar in our San Juan Calabar about 70% of our young traders in our 18 to 34 year old group Are disproportionately women But we find only 23% in Mina and so we think that there's something particularly with the religious dimension That's motivating that Also in terms of migration when we look at other types of demographics and we think about this issue are people moving to the city Are young people moving to the city? And again, we find this really interesting Differentiation at the subnational level approximately half of our youth group Youth traders and in Calabar are migrants Most are coming from a neighboring state And we have less than a quarter of the youth are actually migrants in Mina Our second question is trading is it seen as a stepping stone or is it the status quo? And I think in some of the literature and some of our colleagues at ifpre, you know Talk about people moving out of agriculture into kind of the informal trade sector is kind of a stepping stone moving along this process of structural transformation I think one of our most interesting results is in both both cities that we looked at Approximately 80% of our youth group had at least one parent who was also a trader So this is more of a family tradition rather than kind of seen as okay, my parents did agriculture I'm moving into trade. There's there's definitely a continuity in terms of this career choice Following up on Luke's point about education. We're seeing the same The same dynamic in our sample where we have relatively relatively well educated traders Compared to their older counterparts. So we have a much higher share in this Secondary completed this this dark orange Component you see our older group. It's a bit smaller gets larger as you go down The age group here and also larger with some having some secondary education as well And this is consistent with what we found in some other countries as well because of Basically kind of free primary education now free secondary education in some of these countries You are seeing an increase in people accessing school. Of course the quality is questionable as Luke mentioned Again another interesting subnational dynamic is those who are seeing this as You know, this is going to be their job versus. They're just looking they're temporarily in this Position looking for another job. Again, we see a big difference between Calabar. We have our youth particularly our youngest cohort Saying that you know, they're looking for another job. They don't see this is really their their main occupation I'm gonna just move quickly through the last two slides here. The third question. Are they disproportionately vulnerable and when we're talking about vulnerability? one thing we're thinking about is Are they working more disproportionately as street hawkers are on Outside on the pavements in the streets versus being able to come into an actual established market Again, we have these different different Subnational dimensions here. So if you're in Mina, which is kind of highlighted in yellow here You really don't really see the youth being disproportionately on the streets You only have about twenty six point nine percent and twenty six point five percent of our two-age cohort Yeah, youth age cohorts being on the street By contrast in Calabar, for example, you have fifty nine percent of our youngest cohort Being trading on the streets rather in an established market in both cities The youth really cannot afford their own market stall compared to older cohorts And most of them are actually just able to rent a stall They can actually afford to own a stall No real significant difference in terms of the number of customers they have or the amount of turnover The amount of sales that they have per day and interestingly compared to the what I said earlier about the policy environment Actually our youth in Calabar Are actually experiencing higher levels of government harassment So this is despite the fact that this hawkers bill was instituted there and what many of them told us was well Now we were allowed to trade but we're facing a lot more kind of low-level Extortion by by police officers, so we're not being forced off the street, but we're being asked to pay bribes and then finally The last question are young traders disproportionately mobilized in the book James and I edited five years ago Which I think kind of motivated the the panel a little bit I looked about youth political participation and are the youth disproportionately engaged in protest And we did find some some evidence for that And we are actually finding a little bit of that as well in this survey. We're seeing that Youth and Mina they're significantly more likely to be participating in rallies Political rallies demonstrations and protests than their older counterparts. So a big difference across cohorts there same level of participation in Calabar But no difference across age groups and overall kind of affirming what we find in the broader literature about the informal economy That there's very low levels of associational engagement very few or any in any type of informal sector organization So just to conclude quickly You know going back to James's original questions I guess I can address the first question. It's really I think a lot from looking at the informal traders We do see some interesting You know youth versus older cohort patterns But in general, I think what we're beginning to see from this survey is that employment in Nigeria? It seems to be more of a structural issue rather than a youth challenge in particular And a lot of these traders are actually following in a family tradition rather than you know progressing from the farm to trade We're fine. We found the exact same thing in Ghana where we did exact same survey And I think the overall big takeaway message is that our discussion about policy responses Just needs to be so much more nuanced than I think we've seen and heard thus far in a lot of the broader Policy discourse not just across different youth groups, but obviously even sub-nationally as well So I'll leave it there. Thank you


What's up Nerds? Welcome back to another tutorial. My name is Adam and today I have a fun one for you. Today I'm going to show you how to filter for edited or unedited images. Now this is something that you may have never thought of before and that's why I'm really excited to bring you today's tutorial because at the end of the day, I bet you that this is something that most, if not all of you, are going to find useful because it's something that you may not have been doing before. So just hear me out for a quick second.  The minute you start to make changes to those files inside the develop module, you have begun the editing process. And this is something that I do a lot because I get really excited about an image that I took while on location and I immediately want to get home and play with it. But a lot of times I want to play with images because I'm not sure. It's a file that I think might work, but I really don't know if I'm going to like the photo until I start to mess around with it. Sometimes I edit it fully to completion and other times I stop editing it either because I'm not feeling the image or it's not coming out quite the way that I wanted to or maybe I just don't know how to go about processing it. But either way, I've made changes to the file. And as soon as you make changes to a file in the develop module, Lightroom knows this and it immediately flags that file in the background as either edited or unedited. And this is really cool because now Lightroom has given you a super easy way to go and look for what has been edited and what has not been edited. You just have to know where to find this feature. That's where I come in because I'm going to show you today exactly where to find it and how it works. And it's really easy once you see it. So let's head on into Lightroom and show you what I'm talking about. Now this is a metadata feature. So the first thing we want to do when we go into the library module is we want to make sure that our filter bar is turned on. And one way that you can do this is simply by making sure that you hit the backslash key. You'll probably see your filter bar already here. It says text attribute metadata or none. But if you don't see yours, just hit the backslash button and that'll make sure that your filter bar shows up. Once you get your filter bar up, you're going to go underneath metadata and it doesn't matter which one of these features you change because this feature lives in all of them. So you can see right now mine says that I could change date or camera, lens or label. It really doesn't matter which one you choose because this will work in any single one of them. I'm going to just go under camera and then as I scroll up, you'll see a new tab here that says edit. This is the one that we're looking for. So as soon as I click on edit, I get the ability to look and change either edited or unedited. So I can see that I have 65 images that have never been touched. But I do have five images that I've played around with. So if I click on this feature, immediately it's going to show me the five images that I've already started to play around with. It doesn't matter if I finished them or not. These images have had changes made to them in the develop module. So pick a folder, choose this metadata feature, and you'll be surprised. There may be some images in there that you started working on and maybe forgot about. And maybe you're excited to finish those images now that you've found them. Thank you so much for watching and I'll catch you in the next episode. Have a great day everybody.


In case you missed it, I just finished a big ass shoot-em-up video last week that briefly goes over every shoot-em-up available on the Super Nintendo and the Super Famicom, but one game in particular I wanted to go into a bit more detail is UN Squadron, one of the three or four best shoot-em-ups on the system. For starters, this game is another case of the head honchos in the US not having any confidence in Area 88, its original title, to sell very well. So they changed it to UN Squadron, because, you know, nothing screams sales, merchandising and fanboys like the United Nations. So yeah, it didn't sell much in the US either. As a kid, this title and artwork totally did not appeal to me, I thought the game was a flight simulator or something and totally ignored it, which is a total mistake because this game rocks. There's quite a few things that make this game stand out. First there are three pilots to choose from, and all have their strengths and weaknesses. Greg here, for example, can withstand the most damage, Shin is able to power up his weapon quicker, and Mickey can carry the most power-ups at once. You can also upgrade your own plane and buy whichever power-ups you'd like by using money you've made from destroying enemy ships. You can do this before every mission, so you can adjust what you need according to what's in the forthcoming level. It's this kind of variety that makes the game hold up so well today. As for the gameplay itself, it's well done. There's hardly any of the infamous Super Nintendo slowdown at all, and each level does a nice job of spacing and with the balance of speed between your ship, the enemies, and projectiles. Things are chaotic enough, but it's not overdone, so to make a novice feel overwhelmed immediately, and the later levels are definitely challenging to a shoot-em-up expert. The difficulty is very fair. None of this one-hit death and start with nothing crap, like in Gradius or R-type, and you went squadron, if you're hit, you're given a chance to recover. But if you get hit a few times in succession, you're toast, but you don't lose the power-ups you paid for. The visuals in this game are about what you'd expect for the era. The omnipresent face at the top of the screen might seem kind of hokey, but I like it. I think a lot of people perceive shoot-em-ups as kind of soulless, so it's a nice touch to put a face to the action. As a matter of fact, I dig all of the anime-style artwork here. As for flaws for the game, the music isn't the greatest, but it's serviceable. Also, you're playing only auto-fires for a few seconds, so you can't just hold the button down. That's kind of annoying. Also, there's no passwords to speak of either, so you can't just skip around between levels. Those are all very minor things, though, in my opinion. But you know what one of the best things about UN Squadron is? It's cheap. It can be easily found for less than $10 in the wild. UN Squadron serves as quality proof, along with Space Megaforce and X-Lade, that there are some great shoot-em-ups on the Super Nintendo.


I do have something else I wanted to share real quick, just that happened to me outside of this. We did one of my projects. I got this letter on a project that I recently was, I was awarded. I just started it. We got this letter from a new contract guy and he issued us a letter of concern. Hold on. Let me see it here. So basically this guy issued us a letter of concern about our contract and working on saying that we owed him some documents, like a control plan, activity hazard plan, and all this kind of stuff. So the reason why this is, I'm sharing this, I take all of them out. What was that, you know what, I'm going to be, oh, yo, I'm going to make sure that I don't get it. And the reason why I'm sharing this letter happened is because the, sometimes the government people, they come off as really nice. And this particular guy sent this email and he said, hey, please see this letter of concern in regards to this flooring project. By close this morning, let me know your planned age for the following QC submittal, APP submittal, industrial hygiene testing completion, call me if you have questions. He's a new like project manager, whatever, on this particular job that we rewarded. And we just rewarded this job like last month and we submitted everything to him. So I called my PM, which is Steve on a project and I said, hey, Steve, you know, what's up with that? It's like, I don't know. We submit everything. I'm not really sure where this guy is coming from because he told me if things cool. So I said, well, obviously it's not because he sent the letter. He told my project manager that this was just a formality, right? To do. Okay. And I'm going to tell you why this is important because Steve is like a lot of you out here is if you've never worked with the government, they may be telling you something, right? But they're sending you this letter and saying, it's just a formality. And I'm like, no, this is not no formality. We've got to respond and we've got to trust this and we've got it like, you know, cut the snake off at the head because he's saying he's covering his butt by sending us a letter. But if we didn't do anything wrong, then why did we have a letter? So I talked to Steve and after like several hours, Mike Steve put it in writing exactly what's going on. So what was happening was the government personnel was actually trying to get us to do some additional work without saying it. And so some of the things that he listed on here that they wanted us to do, okay, were related to work that was not in our scope. And this was something that was discussed on the job site. Never made it back to the offices, never made it back to any paperwork side. And then as a result, they said we were like behind a month. And so they issued us this letter. And I'm saying this because Steve was very apprehensive and how to handle the situation. You handle it by addressing the facts, putting them on paper and stating, no, that this is not part of our scope. This is not part of our obligation, which then makes us not late or not delayed because all the things that were in the original scope of work, part of what we agreed to, we've already adhered to those things. We've submitted them, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. And I can see already a lot of people out there saying to me, Eric, what should I do? And you being in a situation and asking me, Eric, what should you do? And my answer is always that even if you work something out or like they quote, quote, work something out on the field, you got to put it in writing and get it signed off by the contracting official because, and like I told Stevie today, is that this guy, Joshua Blackley, first of all, Joshua is not the reason we are on this base working. He didn't give me no contracts. He didn't bring me there. Okay. He's not the one that gave me my IDIQ. He's not the one that called me for the sole source. His boss, right here, Mike, Gian Gregorio, called me. Matthew Mielkowski are the ones who I dealt with negotiated my IDIQ for this particular submarine base, not Joshua Blackley. And at the end of the day, if anything goes down and Joshua Blackley is off in Canada somewhere working or in Guam, they're going to say, what, let's go to the file and see what the file says. So it's not going to be hearsay, writing that kind of stuff. You have to document the facts and even the conversations, even if it's in an email and you're saying, hey, I just want to know that this is what we talked about today, right? I just want to kind of summarize what we discussed kind of in the field and send you an email to make sure. And again, if you could say, just like when they call you to say, your phone may be recorded for test reasons or whatever they say. Same thing. We're sending this email just as a summary of our conversation today to make sure we understand each other, we agree. And in that way, you have documented evidence. Don't be afraid to say to the government that they're wrong. And that's kind of like the point is, so we wrote a letter, well, I had Stevie write the letter, and we basically spelled out all the ways in which they were wrong. And we listed out the dates and we told them that this was our contract. These are the mods, insurance submitted. These are all things that we submitted, okay? And then we listed out that they actually changed the contract yesterday, right? So there was some confusion with the scope that was cleared up. And as part of the scope of work, and subsequently this testing analysis, this note, that issue was reported on this date, which was not part of our scope. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. So then the guy, when we'd sent that, calls back and say, hey, I'm really sorry, I wasn't trying to be mean, you're right, this was a part of your scope, he came back and said, look, I don't want any problems. I was just, nah, you have to kind of set the record straight. And clear the stuff up in the beginning, there's nothing wrong with that. Because if the actual contact an officer would have called me and questioned me about this letter of concern from the Navy.  So now everyone has it in writing, it's plain as English. And the guy came back and actually he had to eat his words and say, look, I'm really sorry for the mishap. We don't want to have to issue a modification on the contract, because there's a lot of paperwork. You're right, this was not your responsibility. It's not part of your scope, which means that we're not late. And that the letter of concern basically is invalid. And so ultimately, what's gonna happen is we're gonna send an email and clarify that we are willing to add that scope, do a swap of services, add that scope, what's called a change order for no cost or no cost change order. And we would do that in an effort to keep the project moving forward expediently. But in essence, we weren't wrong. And so I just wanted to give that example to everyone out there because you may be faced with a situation where we always assume or think like, well, it's the government. So I got to like, they're right and everything they're saying. And I can't really push back, but you do have every right to push back. Because at the end of the day, if someone else is reviewing or looking at, and maybe not that agency, right? But another agency, and they have to request and say, well, how did your company do on this project? They'll say, well, we issued them two letters of concerns because of issues of non-compliance, like it just can carry on further than just that one contract, that one facility. And so for me, I wanted to kind of nip that in the bud. And so if you're out there and you're in that situation, that's the same way that I would say for you to handle it is to just, it's very easy to talk offline and think that you're doing a favor or you're doing it like the easy route by working out with the site manager or the site engineer. But I can tell you that the contracting officer, the contracting specialist, is not going to be happy if they ever learn that you negotiated something outside of what was in writing with a user on the site. They're not going to be happy with you. And their chance of giving you a renewed contract is going to be highly unlikely because you have gone against what they put in writing. So I just want to say that I know we think like, but Eric, wait, it's the government. I'm not making this one guy happy. No. Clear to get writing. I have a question. If regarding the letter you sent to them, are you requesting for more time just to say if the job was, it would take two or three more weeks? Are you requesting for extra time? That had nothing to do with time. No. No. For the extra time. What they were stating was that we were, we had been 30 days without submitting this paperwork. That was what the letter stated. But the actual fact is that we submitted all the paperwork that we were responsible submitting within appropriate time frame. The things that they were asking for were additional items that were not related to our original scope of services. Right. So what I'm saying is that additional work that you're going to do is not, it's not, it's not so it's, it's not additional work for us because what we're doing is the area that they were supposed to originally, we were supposed to originally assess and do testing in that area had already been tested by the government. They made a mistake and they incorrectly read the drawings and the plans. And so ultimately, let's say we were supposed to do building A. Now we're supposed to do building D. But building D is not in my scope. Right. So it's not costing me any more money or time. In fact, I'm actually going to make money on this. Right. But I was willing to give the money back to clarify, to get the point across and get the issue straight now. And we had already made it, like I didn't even ask, I had already made the decision because we're going to actually, we're going to make $10,000 because we don't have to do the remediation. And on this other job, on this other site, we're just going to do testing, which is like 500 bucks. And we've got 10,000 in there. And the government's okay with that. But it didn't matter to me the $10,000 is because if they were claiming that I was delaying the project as a result of that change, I would rather be in compliance and give them back to 10 grand than to be out of compliance to make 10,000. Right. Then you'd be losing relationship. Relationship, future opportunities. You didn't perform well, that kind of stuff. So the 10 bucks for me, the 10. Listen, it's a freaking $900,000 project. We're going to make a whole lot more than 10 grand. We could get 10 grand. Complaint about $3,000 and lose 10,000. I mean, we're going to make, I don't know. I don't know the numbers, but it's a couple million grand, whatever. Hey, Eric, does that go on your, what is it, CP? Like a report card? What's the acronym for that? No, it does not. But that is part of what is evaluated when they do do your CPARs. Yes, let me go. Got you. CPARs, there you go. CPARs, right. That's why you don't want to let that get away. Right, that's why you don't want to let that get away because you were about $10,000 versus being compliant. No, y'all take the 10,000 back and we're compliant. Because when they get back here for the CPARs, which is going to carry me a lot longer, that's $10,000, $20 million worth of contracts down the road. $10,000 is going to be like pennies or fractions. Yeah, facts, man. Chess not checkers, right? Right, there you go. Hey, GovCon Giants family, this is Eric Coffey. I'd like to tell you about a new membership option that YouTube has created and that we here at GovCon Giants TV are taking advantage of. If you notice on our screen, you'll see a button that says Join. When you click the Join button, you'll see different options for people at different price levels, whatever suits your fancy.
