So, welcome everyone, the people who come here. I really, really appreciate anyone who comes here to watch my very first presentation at the open source conference. So, it's exciting. This presentation isn't gonna be quite that technical. It's very much more at the community aspect of things, of metaphors, rather than the technical aspect of it. So, hopefully it will be useful for a more general audience and also really interesting to the people who are kind of coming at this from the outside, like seeing what are all these weird developers working on with metaphors and such. So, I'm going to mention some online content creators in this presentation. Some of them may actually see this presentation because they are mentioned. Hello. Sorry if I ever stall from your Minecraft house. Send me message on Discord, I'll give it back. So, real quick about me before I get started. Mainly a software developer. Self-start working on my self-started company. Besides that, I've got the history in game development and game design. I'm also an artist. I also like to consider myself a maker, as in laser cutting, 3D printing, that kind of stuff. And right before I start my station, I want to give a quick thanks to the Linux Foundation for being really generous and making it possible for me to be here today. It's not entirely certain I will be able to get to Vancouver without their help. Also, a quick thanks to Roy O'Brien, whose support really has made it possible for me to be here today and get this presentation going and giving really, really good insights on the process of making it. And one final quick thanks to my teacher from college, Joost, without whose support I really wouldn't be here today either. So, let's get started on the actual presentation. First slide, the critical question. Every single presentation and metaverse has started with this. I gave a quick introduction on who I am, but first off, why should you listen to me? Most of you probably don't know me. I have a few people watching this May, but for other people, why should you listen to me?  And I'm also currently destroying your favorite thing as all millennials like to do. But I'm a software and game developer, which means that in metaverse, I've got a bit of a background on how the technical aspects of the metaverse work and how it ties together from the game development perspective. And I think that's valuable because we've seen in game development a lot of valuable knowledge come in from VR games, especially that we're not really seeing filtered through to the software development side of it. And there's always been like a bit of a barrier between the two sides. And I'm also a VR early adopter. I have a really old DevKit one, Oculus DevKit one from all the way back sitting at home. Really like playing Team Fortress 2 with that. I don't think that me or VR headsets worked with Team Fortress 2, but haven't tried yet. And I have occasionally been in the right place at the right time. And that's, for me, I think the most valuable part. I've had a very valuable opportunity to talk to the kind of people who are right now being affected by metaverse the most and are basically seeing this happen in front of them and not always being happy with it. And I hope in this presentation I can give a little bit of their voices heard when they don't feel comfortable in themselves getting into our communities and talking about it. Also, I'm holding the microphone. I did specifically ask for a level ear mic, so I'm not literally holding a microphone.  But yes, the very first question. For every presentation on metaverse legally has to start with, what is the metaverse? What's the deal with airline food of Fenty22 TAC Talks essentially? And really this question is at the core of what this presentation is all about. Because I think this is a more important question than a lot of people may realize and we kinda gloss over it sometimes with saying like, well, everything can be the metaverse. I'm not quite happy with that answer. In fact, a lot of people feel very frustrated with the answer, especially the people who we are telling that the metaverse is gonna be the future if they then ask like, well, what is the metaverse? And then we say to them, well, it's difficult to explain. Specifically, quite recently, a channel called Falling Ideas brought out a video about the central end called Future's Dead Mole, from which I want to quote, despite numerous and numerous attempts, you probably feel no closer to having a workable definition in your head. Very few agree on anything other than the broad strokes. Almost all fall back on gesturing to Ready Player One and going, you know, that thing will be like that. One example, for example, is the book Snow Crash. The word metaverse, of course, comes from the book Snow Crash. And famously, quite a lot of words for software that we're very well known with by now come from this book. For example, Google Earth, quite famously, comes from a concept in this book called Earth made by what used to be the CIA in this book. But when in presentations, when people say, well, it will be like that book, there is a thing that quite immediately comes up for most people, which is, of course, this is not a blueprint for how society should be. These are, quite frankly, dystopic books. They're supposed to tell us a cautionary tale of how things shouldn't be quite famous tweets about, like, don't invent a torment nexus. And I would say that quite a lot of people at this point are starting to feel like software developers, like they look at books and they think, like, oh, cool, we should do that, and then don't really learn from the example, because, well, in the end, these books do describe dystopias. And I think that's not enough people in Metaverse right now actually read and understand these books. Very specifically, Snow Crash is what we would call a hypercapitalist dystopia. The United States in this book essentially doesn't exist anymore.  They've got no idea what they're working on. They're never allowed to be told more than a little bit. They have no assigned desk.  You're expected to show up before everyone else, and everyone is expected to show up before everyone else. Snow Crash, very specifically, is also written in the background of the nuclear explosions that happened during World War II. It is very much inspired by the idea of nuclear annihilation. And definitely written in the wake of the Cold War. Two important characters, hero protagonists and Raven. Both of their fathers were prisoners in the Hiroshima prisoner camps. And quite notably, Raven's father was blinded by the explosion that blew up Hiroshima. And Raven as a character wants to come to America. Why? Well, to nuke America in revenge. There is a lot of very bleak stuff in these books. It's not always a fun book to read, so Snow Crash specifically. Quite a lot more fun, actually. I really do recommend it. It's a fun book to read. But despite that, there are some sparks of excitement for me personally in these books. Nowadays, the idea of metaphors is almost pedestrian to us, as described in the book, because it's so commonplace now. But if you read, like, the little details, for example, hero early on in the metaphors, when they wanted to get around, and they had to code their own cars, and they could do that. By now, at the time the book is set as place, you have the choice to either code something yourself or buy it. But the coding part is still there. If you have the expertise, you can make whatever you want, if you also have the money to buy a lot of land. And as well, while people have heard of Earth in terms of Google Earth, one favor from is actually the Librarian, which is an AI assistant, that while very notably repeating that it has no capability to make any kind of opinionational inferences, it does very frequently do that, which reminds me of currently upcoming technology. So there are aspects of it that I do think that we could emulate. There are some pretty cool aspects in there. But to bring it back to the question at the start, what is the metaphors? Well, I think myself, I would say, because I do think this question is important to kind of set what I'm going to be talking about, I think that the most important part of metaphors is spatial interfaces. When we're looking at what can the metaphors do, it is a lot of physical picking stuff up, moving it around, being able to open it, like you can do anything you want with objects. You don't have to explain how to pick up a book, people get it. When in game development, when we put people in VR systems, people who have never played the game, you do not have to explain anything to them, they immediately get it. And that's like, imagine putting someone in cat software, AutoCat, like they're not, they just don't understand like what am I supposed to do? And it's like, especially any kind of 3D software, it's just completely incomprehensible to most people, even though it could be extremely valuable for them. So there's such a huge opportunity there to get more people tech literate, essentially. As well, we're looking at real-time cooperative interfaces. Historically, we've looked at these computer software as like a thing you run on your own local system. But it's very important that, with Metaverse, we're looking at multiple people using the same system at the same time, which is a thing that we don't see enough of, and this is also really valuable because collaboration really is part of who we are as people. This does bring in new challenges in UI UX. A lot of the things we've learned over the last 20, 40 years on how to make computer software just doesn't apply anymore because it works so differently. And I think we, the idea of Metaverse as an overarching word to describe things is very important for categorizing Metaverse UIs. And as well, with the idea of bringing it to the open Metaverse, where we want to be able to get those programs, those Metaverse programs into different experiences. So you aren't locked into little silos. You can bring things with you. You can use it with other people. And it's very free-flowing.  And of course, avatars, objects, decorative functional. When you're putting your house together in the Metaverse, you want to bring those objects. You find some rails. You want to bring them in. You want to have your own custom avatar. It has to work together. It has to fit together. It has to be smooth. We don't want to get into a situation where people who just don't have the time to learn really technological terms have to learn about the difference between FBX and GLTF. It's just for them like that. It's like, if you even start trying to explain it, they immediately feel like, well, I don't have time for this. And like I said, use it just get it. Explain how to pick up something. Or say you want to put something in a folder. Well, pick up the mouse. You have to press the relapse button. No, you just pick it up, put it there. You don't have to explain anything. People have been learning this from when they were very young. And that's so extremely valuable. So there are a few, there are a few systems that we typically would call proto-metaverse or sending metaverse, or parts of the future metaverse. And the very obvious one are things like Minecraft. Minecraft, I think, for me personally is the biggest example just because it's one big world and you can, people can hop in, hop out, make their own stuff. And there's a little bit of game on top of there as well to keep things a bit more engaging than it would otherwise be. And there's this extensive modern community behind it as well. And besides, the world of World of Warcraft is very often taken as an example because of it being this massive, persistent, connected together world, which I do think quite a lot of lessons we can take from World of Warcraft apply to metaverse as we're building it now. And another big example is VRChat. It's an incredibly popular virtual reality chat system. It supports basically every single platform, just one of the biggest ones there is out there. And also, notably, for content creators, really, really popular content creators love VRChat, despite that you often hear, like, that millennials and content creators hate metaverse, but they love VRChat. And we coming into metaverse from our angle, like we think, but that's basically what the metaverse is. So there's a question like there. Why doesn't this connect to them? For me personally, like I mentioned, Minecraft feels the closest because it's got this entire modding community. So you can build your own stuff and there's completely free to just jump in there and go build your own stuff. You don't have to be technically skilled to really do that. VRChat, like, you have to learn unity to build your own world, for example. And there's a lot more limitations for an average user than it would be in Minecraft. But Minecraft does really lack that kind of systems interface. There is modding support on top of it, but it's not really well integrated. You have to be a bit technical to set it up if you want to do modding. Also, there's a lot of limitations on what you can actually do with any mods you make, which I think is a critical issue for metaverse specifically. Because, especially for creators, there is what we call the creator economy. And this also relates to Minecraft because we've got a lot of creators who basically make Minecraft content for their job. This is a screenshot taken from a thumbnail by a channel called Rubber Ross from a really big Minecraft server called BazenseP and they have just tons and tons of YouTubers working together making this giant world and making videos about it and telling stories. And behind this is an entire team of really, really skilled and talented people that I do just quick disclosure. I do happen to help out with them. And they've put this in tons of work making this entire package of mods and different stuff and building this world together. And that really enables these creators to do basically their job and it's required for them basically to do their job. And essentially, behind Minecraft, there's this really complete, very large ecosystem of modding loaders like the Quilt Project and websites to host mods, like ModRynth over here. And the modders who are making these mods, some of them legitimately earn their living from the mods they are making and publishing. They earn a cut of the advertising profit that they get from the downloads. So we're seeing this entire economy setting up behind Minecraft, which was never originally intended by this game. It's really the lifeblood of the game as it is now and keeping it alive. Besides, of course, developers themselves have done an amazing job at keeping it constantly updated. But for a lot of people, modded Minecraft is the only way they experience Minecraft anymore. And for creators, there's this unseen creator ecosystem behind the scenes. Infrastructure for video creators and streamers with software like managing donations, managing apps, platforms for content hosting, downloading. We've got services who are just dedicated to making little merchandise for these creators. And there's this, like, also less obvious, less direct, like modders making mods specifically for creators. We've seen entire channels just focus on just making silly little modifications of games, just to show to friends and make a video out of that. And it's really, really interesting. And I really think that for Metaverse specifically, those are the most interesting groups that people should focus at. Because in the end, like, those are the content creators. They are the people who are going to make the actual content that populates the world. But also bringing it back a step up again, the people making YouTube videos, those as well, they actually have been doing some of the things we're talking about in Metaverse, like avatars. They've been doing that for years right now. It's something that came up in the last few years. There's a big elephant in the room. VTubers. I sure hope I'm not going to get banned from the open source convention track for talking about VTubers. But yeah, these are people who in the last few years have made facial tracked avatars to do live streaming content and video content with. So there's this entire industry behind them, like people making avatars, people making little props for them. There's tracking software, links between the iPhone tracking stuff and bringing it back to the computer, integrating it with streaming platforms, getting their avatars into games, like Minecraft, because some Minecraft skins, or something like Beat Saber avatars, VRChat avatars. There's an entire industry around this of businesses, like real current businesses that are making content for games. And to me, this is what the Metaverse is. It is people using this collective virtual ecosystem to make stuff for each other and just have fun and make stuff and find their own job in that. It's very Metaverse-style content. And next to that, these VTubers, they are like an enormous community behind them. There are, I think, recently, a while ago, I think it's like 100,000 listed VTubers. But also, this is an enormous fanbase behind them. People here probably haven't heard of them much, but they have such a large fanbase behind them that on YouTube, for example, this is the top leaderboard of all-time superchats on YouTube. Superchats are chat donations on YouTube streaming. So if you see the top, who gets the most donations of superchats on YouTube? Well, we're looking at the top five, top four. We're seeing Russia, Cocoa, Pecora, and Marine. These are all VTubers, even more. These are all VTubers of the same VTuber agency. And if you look in the top 10, you're basically seeing eight out of 10 if you're a co-collectivist VTubers. So you've got this incredibly passionate community of streamers but also of fans who are willing to financially support their favorite creators in quite large amounts because, and this is something some of the people here might have heard about a while ago, when the VTuber, Ina, had her birthday. Her fans organized a surprise for her that they had, that they rented out this billboard at Times Square for the entire day and just put fan art on there as a happy birthday gift to Ina. And you would think that's like, it was very expensive. I'm one of the people who donated to that. There was lots of people chipping in to make this happen. And you'd think like that's such an impressive thing except that it happened twice. When Crony had her birthday, her fan base did the same thing on the different billboard because I think that one was at the time under repairs, if I recall correctly. They couldn't get the same one. But we've got like this fan-organized like community around this making fan art, making content. Because the fans ended up being the creators too. We talk very often about the psychotomy between producer-consumer but in the end everyone is a creator and we've got this symbiotic relationship between the content creators and the fan creators because there's a lot of folk art. For example, this is a character which has been referred to as Small Amé which is a caricature of a feature called Amelia. This was drawn by a specific fan and this became such a big part in the community that eventually was adopted by the feature herself in merge and also in events. This is at an event related to that specific VTuber. They had someone dressed up as that character and that was originally a fan character like not even at all associated with the agency that that feature was part of. And we've got fan games, quite complex fan games. Many, many fan games. If you look at that you'll find just an absolutely huge amount of fan games and just to repeat to me like everyone here is a creator. You don't have this dichotomy between creator-consumer. Everyone's a creator and I think that's very important. And repeating again, I really do think that both the creators and the fans are our biggest users because they're making this really huge volume of just content, stuff for people to experience, sharing things with each other, they're making avatars, accessories, games, so much stuff. And the biggest reason though to me why they are our biggest users is because they're not pretending. They're not pretending to be anime characters. This is who they are to them. When they are streaming online, when they're talking to other people, they're not putting on an act. Those avatars are literally who they consider themselves to be. You think Iron Mouse is acting? No, she's always like that. I was really surprised by that. She actually is always like that. A tagline from the Vishojo website, Vishojo is a big agency that manages VTubers and supports them, is that filters help us to take the mask off and show our true self. And I think that that really is what Metaverse is all about. What Metaverse should be all about. Quickly noting from the top left to bottom right, that's Porcelain made, Haruka, Apricot, Buffbuff, Basil Roof, Iron Mouse, Neanderthus, Joecat, Keeson, Nasuna, and Centrea. Hope I got all their names right. Otherwise I'm gonna hear about it on Twitter. But yeah, they are living as their avatars. This is who they are. There is a bit of a conflict that happens there. Because these people, if you ask them about Metaverse, they will tell you, they don't want Metaverse, and they really don't want it. They will aggressively say, no, I don't want to be associated with Metaverse. It's career suicide for them, to be associated with Metaverse. They have this very strong focus on individualism, and they feel like Metaverse is coming in and taking that away from them. To quote a creator called Sarah Z. In a video she made, in full of replica, the broader internet is increasingly becoming sanitized for advertisers, in a genuinely dangerous way. And this is one thing I always keep repeating. These people, when they say they don't want Metaverse, it's not because they are not informed on Metaverse. They are extremely well informed on Metaverse, but they have issues with it. They have issues with the way we are doing things. We're seeing this active pushback against the corporate internet, essentially, in that they feel they're being harmed by this. And I think one really defining word of this generation of creators, but also this generation of millennials in general is the word health side. If you've talked to millennials like almost everyone who has heard this side, health side doesn't refer to any specific website, it refers to whatever website you're currently on. To quote again Sarah Z. The internet is not designed to be a place for users or creators, but for advertisers. Sarah Z is actually learning Python, so if you happen to stumble upon this video, hello. So we've got these people who are basically extremely technically skilled, not in informed at all, so they know what's going on and they're saying like, well, we don't want this. Even though what we're looking at they're basically doing the things that we want to do with Metaverse, so what's going on here? And I think the big thing is that there is an adversarial relation at this point between the platforms and the creators. And they're seeing Metaverse come in as a continuation on this and tightening the chains that they feel they have on them already. Because the really, really important thing I feel is that money is not the goal. When these creators are making content they are not making content to make a lot of money. They're making content because they want to create the content. But they do eventually at some point need the money because if you don't have the money you can't make the content and you have to go do something else. Creators need to eat. They care about creating sharing more, but they do have to eat. And at some point we just get to this point where there's this friction between the camps where they really, really I do think that these creators do really want Metaverse but that the well has just been poisoned. They feel like this is a continuation of the things they don't like. And all these creators, like if you talk about VR they can talk to know and about how much they love VR and VR avatars and full body tracking. Like we've got an entire community of videos like if you offered them a full body VR tracking set they are going to absolutely love that. So all this Metaverse tech is really, really epic world to them, but they feel like well we don't want Metaverse because it's been associated with all these things that we really, really don't want. So one specific person I talked to on this which I can't ever mention who it specifically was because that kind of invites flashback to them. But one specific thing that they told me was I told them about the open Metaverse foundation like hey you can get invited, come take a look, come talk to us. Well they said it seems interesting. I think the word Metaverse is kind of tarnished now. Most creators try to keep far away from it. I could one specific part out of that to keep the presentation going not candle on the sidetrack. If you happen to see this I'm sorry that I cut it out. We do talk about it more in the open Metaverse foundation but just for the presentation bit to the side. But yeah if you talk to them about Metaverse like the one word that keeps coming back over and over and over is this topic. Because a lot of us who haven't who are working on Metaverse haven't read those books like Snow Crash like Ready Player One. But you know who has read those books? Those creators. They absolutely have read Snow Crash. They absolutely have read Ready Player One. So they feel like people are just not learning from it. They feel like they are the more informed one here and then we're coming in and telling them well you're not informed on this. And they really just want to listen. They want people to hear which issues they are having. Because in the end we all do really want the same thing. We want what is supposedly going to be the next internet. We want it to be better. Just to bring Snow Crash back in just quoting from chapter 8 a quote from the protagonist of the book Hero and the protagonist. Yes, he's literally named protagonist. He talks about another character named Junita who was critical to the making of the foundational technology of the Metaverse and Snow Crash. And what he says is once they got done counting their money, marketing the spin-offs, soaking up the adulation of others in the hacker community, to the realization that what made this place a success was not the collision avoidance algorithms, it wasn't bouncer daemons or any of that other stuff. It was Junita's faces. Junita made a system that did the facial tracking. To Junita what was important was the human interaction. Being able to see people as people. But in Snow Crash, Junita doesn't use the telephones. Another character notes it's like Alexander Graham Bell refusing to use the telephone. The reason Junita doesn't use the Metaverse is she feels it's become too commercialized, become too corporate. It accepts people's creativity and the vitality. It's like a poison to the mind essentially. Which there's nothing wrong with the underlying technology there. But it's the way it's used. So we kind of get to now what? Because one common refrain as well that you'll hear from a lot of creators is like well, averting dystopia. There's a reason in the title of this presentation, the word avertings between brackets. Very commonly they feel we already are in a dystopia. So at this point it's like well, we've got this opportunity to make a brand new start. So how do we learn from the mistakes from the past? Well, we need to build that bridge of communication for a big part. And one thing that I really feel with that is that we need to take the first step. Because in the end like these people feel like they cannot talk to us. So we need to start by reaching out to them and saying like well, we are going to show with action that we are listening to these issues people are having. And I think a really big part of that for us is the idea of a duocracy. Royal Frequently says to me like well, the open manifestation is a duocracy. And the way I see that myself is that it's not just like an organizational description. It is an emergent behavior of the way open source works. Because in the end open source communities projects happen if someone does them. So if you want to improve things you have to build the change you want to see. And the people who are really building things are the ones who make things happen. So in that thing, the first step it really has to start with the people building these new systems that we are working on. And a lot of that is going to be pooling of engineering work because in open source one thing we do not have in open source is resources. We do have a fair amount of resources but not nearly as much as the really, really, really large companies who are building massive platforms. We don't have a lot of that so we really have to work together. We have to pool resources. We have to work on things that work together, fit together so that we can build up the ecosystem that we want to happen, happen. Which means cooperation between projects and organizations. One thing people have worried about with the open metaverse foundation is oh there's another foundation coming in trying to decide what things are going to be like but no it's it's a lot about looking at existing projects, existing what people are doing and trying to see how can we fit that together, how can we integrate it, how can we link the tons of work that's being done in different places together into what we want to see and I do really want to stress on that like I do think that the open metaverse foundation and other initiatives like the open metaverse initiative are a key component in making sure that we get where we want to be in improving the state of where things are right now and to some degree we have to we do have to be realistic we are at the start of my presentation I said like well people include almost everything in the idea of metaverse but to some degree we do have to be realistic some parts are more useful to be in virtual reality spaces and other things so we have to kind of like find the barriers like where we want to focus on, we can't do everything at the same time and when we focus on the very realistic core focus components we are very quickly providing a lot more value to creators and to people and one of the most important things I think is that this is a marathon and not a sprint interests for come and go, new cycles come and go but in the end for the people who are passionate about building metaverse we have a lot of time to build the pieces bit by bit you just need to keep at it and build more little stuff over and over and over a little bit of adding things together because we can't just sprint altogether we don't have the energy to do that we go for a long distance so it's a marathon not a sprint finally to close it off I want to give a quote from Richard Feynman, famous scientist and bongo enthusiast also noted for breaking into people's safe set and Manhattan projects not sure how he got away with that when the trinity test happened when the very first atomic explosion happened essentially afterwards he said I'm about the only guy who actually looked at the damn thing the first trinity test everybody else had these dark classes he was noted for like refusing the dark classes that were giving people to protect their eyes and I think that's very notable we need to look at what we're building we need to take off those gross color classes where we're looking at very highly minded idealistic ways that I do think that we need to be very realistic in the way we're looking at what we're building and there it comes back to the question of what is the metaphors what do you want it to be what do you want to build and what are we going to make it be and finally to leave it off with one more cautionary tale a lot of people are talking about the metaphors with like well it's going to be it's going to be the future it's going to be great we're going to have computers do everything perfectly for us and well at one certain point people were saying about specific nuclear reactors they were saying like well it's going to be the future it's going to be everywhere it's going to be everything and there's no way it can go wrong because there's no way that an RBMK reactor could ever explode I watched the HBO series Chernobyl on the way here I wanted to put that in and there is absolutely no way that a medical radiometry device could ever get someone an overdose because it's protected by a computer and a computer doesn't make a mistake at certain points we have to listen to the people lighting the alarm bells because all these things that have happened in the past all the mistakes that have happened in the past there were always people saying like there's an issue here and we need to fix this issue but in the end what we heard back was what you did explain to me how can an RBMK reactor melt down and nobody listened to the alarm bells until it went disastrously wrong so leaving it off on that downer how can you get involved how can you make the change happen that we want to see I really do think that looking at the Open Metaverse Foundation is a good start if you don't know where else to go organizations and projects who are trying to make this change happen and I think you should seek out your favorite one but we at the Open Metaverse Foundation we are trying to link a lot of different people together to pool our resources just for different groups of people who may want to be involved if you're a developer well there's plenty of open source projects that are making different building blocks we're trying to get more developers with the Open Metaverse Foundation to start on building things and to start integrating different things together I really highly recommend if you are interested as a developer talk to the people there talk to all the developers see if we can get things going get projects going get the roadmap going and if you are an asset creator if you're a content creator currently making 3D models I really would say as well like find groups to work together with make large environment kits modular systems that non-technical people can start putting things together without needing to learn these currently really really really complicated software right now and make a large volume of assets that software developers can use to make their demos look really really good because like that visual aspect to a lot of people that's the only thing they see the visual aspect is important most people aren't going to understand your really really fancy compression algorithm they're only going to understand the really detailed environment you can get out of it and if you're a content creator I highly recommend that you reach out specifically the Open Metaverse Foundation is entirely open to all non-technical people to come in and talk to us and give feedback and tell us what you need and what your current issues are and really like in the idea of duocracy and like I've said it's more an emergent property in the end that doesn't mean that if you're a content creator you can't build your own code it doesn't mean that you don't get a say it just means that you need to come in and tell the people who are making the code what you really need because in the end the information to solve the problems those clients have and finally if you are a business I think there is a lot of opportunity here for businesses too to come in and provide services that fit the needs of existing content creators that are feeling like well we can't they feel very trapped in the current ecosystem but there are a lot of smaller businesses and infrastructure that they are very very happy with like donation infrastructure content hosting merge providers and sales and stores and agencies to help them out and there is so much opportunity there to help improve their lives and I think that is really valuable if you pay attention to that and finally if you are one more thing I want to add on to this if you are any of this group but especially as a creator you can also talk individually to people if you happen to know someone who is involved with development or stuff like this if you happen to know someone who is vocal about the stuff and is a developer like you can talk to them directly tell them your concerns because all the voices count we only really know what people want if they come to us and tell us what they want and this presentation especially it would not have come without all the amazing feedback and conversations I have had with all the just amazing content creators who really built a foundation built a bad rock of what makes the internet good right now and finally I hope that this gives you some ideas on how we can avoid rebuilding the same dystopia that we have already built because we really do want to do better I think most developers really do feel like we want to do better and we've got this rare opportunity to build something new and build something better


Welcome to Toffy TV. It's the starting 11 show Aston Villa vs Everton. Everton's first away game of the season. Villa, bit of a bogey team, aren't they? For us we've obviously got beat there last season and the season before. I don't think we've beaten them since they've returned to the Premier League so it's going to be a very tough ask but Aston Villa coming off the back of a 5-1 defeat at Newcastle and actually had a waveform at the back end of last season. It wasn't too bad so let's hope we can get something at Villa Park on Sunday. Let's get into it. In goal, Jordan Pickford. Don't need to say anything else do we? He's the number one. Right back, Nathan Patterson. Little bit wobbly last week. I thought just needs to get off to a decent start in this game. Get his confidence right. Hopefully start a nice long run in the side now. Get over those fitness issues of the past and I think we'll see a good right back develop there. At left back, I'm going to go for Ashley Young of course. Mickalinko is struggling at the moment still so he'll be on the bench so I imagine Ashley Young will continue at left back. Didn't alright last week so he started the game really well. Dropped off a little bit in the second half but he's got that experience going back to his former club of course as well. Hopefully that spares him on. If you're going to score a goal for Evan, make it against your old team because that's what happens when people play against us. So why can't it happen against Villa? So he'll start at left back. For me, James Tarkowski and I'm going to go for Jared Branthwaite again. I worry about Michael Keane in a game like this because they've got that much movement and pace. That is like Kryptonite for Michael Keane. I mean a lot of people say just defending is Kryptonite for Michael Keane but Michael Keane is alright. He did alright last week and do I truly believe Branthwaite will start in this game? No, not at all.  It'll probably be Michael Keane again. 100% chance it'll be Michael Keane again. But I'm going to go for Jared Branthwaite because this is my team. Moving into midfield, a Disagana Gay. Another play going back to his old team. Solid last week. He'll start every week for us apart from when he goes to the African nations.  O nana. I just want to see more from. It's not that he doesn't play well. It's just that he doesn't do enough. Made his debut at Villa Park last year for Everton. Did really well for our goal. Did really badly for their second goal. There's a lot more settled now. Of course he is a tier down the line. But just want to see a little bit more from it. Just want to see him grabbing games by the scuff of the neck. Being that playing in midfield. That older teams look out and go. God I'd like him and listen he's being rumoured to move to older clubs. But I want it to be justified. I want to play at older clubs. Love him. Love to have him. Do it for us. So it's not that he's playing badly. It's just that he's not doing enough for us. So yeah, him in midfield.  Abdelhaid, the Korey. Missed Gil Tedge chance last week to put his one up against Fulham. He's got to take those chances. Because that's what he's in the team for at the end of the day. Done well for us away from home school. Goals away from home. Let's continue that. And get a goal on Sunday. On the right hand side. James Garnay. There's no one really else at the moment. Dan Dume. He's coming back fitness wise. So looks like he'll be on the bench. Jack Harrison is obviously not going to be fit till after the international break. The Marey Grace not in the manager's thinking. So there's no one real else at the moment. So he's going to start over there. Defensively, that's not too bad. But of course it's going forward, isn't it? It's going forward. That means Patterson's got to do a lot more and do better. Going on the outside of him. On the left hand side. Alex Waobu I thought did well. Last week was at the heart of everything we did well. Shumo. That's my number one thing for Alex Waobu. Just shoot more. One of them will come off. If you did five or six shots, one of them will come off. Or you might get one with the keeper saves. I like last week and it leaves a gaping open goal for someone to put it over. So let's... He's been at the heart of everything I've done well. So him on the left hand side. I know front, Dominic Harvent-Lewin. Played 90 minutes in the week. The manager said he's in contention. He starts for me. Might come off the bench, but for me, just start. Just start him. He's played 90 minutes to start him. He's done his program. So that is the start of 11 for me anyway. Let me know your thoughts in the comments. So you wouldn't have to have differently whatever it is you want to see changed. Or you agree with me. Let me know in the comments.

Hey everyone, welcome back to Nintendo Prime, if you enjoy Nintendo news, discussion, debate, entertainment, obviously I would appreciate if you were subscribed to the channel, we're on our road to 80,000 subscribers, we also have a new giveaway going on right now to kick off Prime Gaming Fest on June 9th, we're giving away two copies of Mario Striker's Battle League, link down in the description to enter, it's a viral sweep link and yeah good luck, we'll be announcing the winners literally at the very beginning of Prime Gaming Fest at 9am on June 9th. Now let's get into this video, this is a Q&A video, we did our first one in years last weekend and we're back again, we have like 70 people who commented on our last one so we're just going to go through a majority of these and get right to it, so the first one comes from Warren B and he said Nate, people should be less aggressive against you with these giveaways, the work in time it takes to get sponsors and the many times using your own money should be understood, not all your subscribers complain and are fully supportive of your channel and what you are trying to do with your spare time, that's why you have 77.8 thousand, 77.800 subscribers, keep up the good work, I love your content and a keen watcher, yeah this is more of a response to the question or accusation made last week of all my giveaways being fake and you know people are gonna say what they're gonna say, it doesn't really matter how many I've done and how many how much stuff I've actually given away, there's always gonna be people that doubt and you know what all I can do is say hey if you don't think they're real then don't enter, I don't know, I don't know what else to tell you, everyone else is entering will feel very thankful to have one less entry in the pile. Next up we have an actual question from Weird Tuber Journalism says do you think it would be out of the question for Nintendo to incorporate the steam team in the next switch by chasing the next or by basing the next switch around the steam deck or as he calls it the steam machine? It's weird to call it a steam machine considering that steam actually had a whole line of products called steam machines that failed, that being said I don't think Nintendo is gonna base anything around what the steam deck is doing, I don't think they're going with AMD in general, I think they still have a contract with Nvidia, they're still gonna move forward with Nvidia so it's not gonna be based around what the steam deck does anyways. I also don't think Nintendo cares about the steam deck, I feel like this is a conversation that isn't being had enough because some people have steam it and they go why isn't Nintendo doing this, why isn't Nintendo doing that and the response is because Nintendo's not a PC, they're not building a PC, they're building a handheld, you're taking PC components slapping them in a handheld that is what Steam Deck did and that's totally fine, Nintendo's not going that route, Nintendo is making mobile hardware so I honestly think that they don't care what the hell Steam is doing, they can't get enough of these units out to be readily available anyways, Nintendo's just gonna worry about what they have going on and what they have going on is to the tune of outselling the PlayStation 4 so I think Nintendo's doing just fine, I'm gonna patiently wait and see what their plans are for their next generation platform. I just hope it's still portable like I do I do worry they're gonna go away from the hybrid concept because Nintendo likes to change the game when the game doesn't need to be changed and right now it definitely feels like the game doesn't need to be changed but we'll see what Nintendo does. Thomas asks, how is your knee doing? It's okay. Long story short I had a knee injury playing football when I was a kid, patella injury, I've had it my whole life. The only reason I haven't gotten surgery on it yet is they're not quite sure which surgery will fix it and some of the surgery options will make it so I can never run again and now that I have children and all that I still like to play pick-up games of basketball here and there I really don't want to lose my ability to run until I absolutely need to so it flared up again really over Easter and it really hasn't bounced back fully but it is getting a little bit better every day the reason it's taken so long is because I'm not listening I'm supposed to stay off it like literally just pretend I'm a cripple for like a few days and I have a hard time doing that because again I'm a parent I got I got other things going on I can't just not be on my feet so it's still getting better just taking longer than it needs to but I would say you guys don't need to worry about it everything's fine Charles Trudell says great quote right here these quoting something I said in my last video maybe the human form is just beautiful and this was this dealt with like Xenoblade Chronicles complaints and he says I mean yeah like can we be a bit more proud of ourselves and that's the thing like this is talking about sexism and gaming and I'm not gonna sit here and pretend that there's not some overly sexualized stuff and some things done in a way just to pander to the animalistic sides of all of our brains but I do think that sometimes it's a bit overblown because we're trying to make it where it's not okay to enjoy the beauty of the human form and and I think that that's wrong I think we should be allowed to enjoy the beauty of the human form whether it's male or female I don't really think we should feel ashamed of that especially when we're talking about virtualized characters that they're not real guys like they're not gonna be offended they're not real these characters don't exist they don't have opinions so I don't know the people are gonna think what they want to think Zelda shiko warrior 94 asks you say demise was revealed for Breath of Wild 2 I didn't say that but so you think that's not Ganon or if like most other Zelda tumors I didn't say that either what I said is I theorize that demise was the baddie back when the game was revealed I didn't say that he was necessarily at first I did think that character might be demise because just because of the long flowing hair but then the more more I look at it it probably is Ganon because demise was sealed away inside the Master Sword so but then the Master Swords now in shambles I definitely think fee is back so I think there's a good chance demise is back and I did call it back in 2019 it doesn't mean that I don't think Ganondorf isn't in the game I think Ganondorf is in the game I just think demise is as well and I thought that long before most other people did the nerd Aaron says so making the PlayStation 2 a handheld to the PSP is good enough to be next-gen and even the Super Nintendo to the Game Boy Advance is but taking a system that's more powerful than the Wii U PS3 and 360 and putting it in a handheld that merely upscales for TVs is not bull do you agree next generation is about power is just an excuse to put down Nintendo I don't agree that next generation is about power is just an excuse to put down Nintendo because if that was the case why is Nintendo's platforms more powerful every single generation at the time the Nintendo switch came out in 2017 it was the most powerful gaming handheld in the world fact people forget that because it's now almost five and a half years old okay well yeah it's been five and a half years I hope something more powerful than the switches come out that that that would be asinine to think that nothing more powerful than the switches come out in the last five and a half years but at the time it came out it was the most powerful thing in its field like people forget that so next generation is about power but it's not only about power I think is the best way to put it and I think people just wanting to put down Nintendo just want to put down Nintendo it's console wars console wars that's all it's wanting to push this narrative that it's a kiddie console even though more adults play switch than children it is what it is you know life moves on the answer says prime question aside from gameboy and gameboy advanced games potentially coming to Nintendo switch online what do you think of the potential of seeing other consoles like the turbo graph 16 or the Sega Master System being added why not my stop there why can't we get the Dreamcast why can't we get I mean heck I would love if Nintendo could work something out with PlayStation it's not gonna happen I would love to get PS1 on here but if we can't do that then how about going further get the Atari and all the Atari stuff on I really see no reason unless these companies just don't want to work with Nintendo that it can't be done and obviously Nintendo's gotta be willing to spend the money because the included they got to give these companies money to get their games and their platforms on switch and if they're willing to do a Genesis I see no reason that they wouldn't be willing to do it with all the other Sega systems get some game gear stuff on here why not so I again it's early we'll see I don't think Genesis is the last third-party system we'll see added to NSO I also think NSO is going to be going for an entirely second console generation so we got at least another 10 years of NSO so yeah well they're gonna add more pastor yo Nate says prime question how are you liking the online aspect of Nintendo switch sports so confession I haven't played Nintendo switch sports yet I do have it thank you so much Mike Perez Nintendo Academy he had an extra copy so he decided to give that copy to me so I do have the game but I haven't even turned it on yet I just been too busy I probably will turn it on at some point today so I can't really comment too much on the online aspect I've heard some good things and some bad things so I don't know for now I'll just say this I'm excited to try and it will be part of our prime gaming fest next month so I really should probably get to play at it so I don't lose to Eric or lose to you guys and I'm having to give away or punish myself more than I really want to but you know what that's part of the game isn't it tee tee firmbuck says I know we're all expecting to switch to but Nintendo was so weird it might actually be possible they just abandoned the switch concept in the future what do you think about that yeah they could Nintendo likes to do their own thing I don't think they're going to abandon it but again Nintendo will do what Nintendo wants to do if they think the future isn't that then they are going to attempt to do something else I talked to a top before that as jokingly maybe Nintendo will I don't know release a stick that's like a fire TV and now we're just streaming games why because that's what Nintendo thinks the future is so again I don't think they're going to abandon it but it's not out of the realm of possibility Nintendo is gonna do what Nintendo wants to do unscribbled says prime question do you think there will be a tomodachi life to the tough one I don't think there will be I think the concept was really really novel and there's a reason why they just rereleased it because I just don't think they think there's enough interest to do it again I would like to feel like there would be but again it's just I honestly don't feel like there's going to be I'm sorry man and then again I don't work at Nintendo so I don't know what I'm apologizing for sign up to me manual a Roy says what if the next Nintendo switch has a SIM card slot I don't think they'll do that because that requires that they work with phone carriers and we saw that didn't go really well for the Vita I don't see the Nintendo thinking that that's a smart way to go in the future either having to pay a subscription van to Verizon or AT&T or something like that I just don't think it's gonna have a huge interest so personally I don't see them going that route I understand the reason you have online everywhere right but let's be honest even even hitting 5g is really spotty and 4g LTE has issues with online gaming so I just don't think that that's gonna be a positive for the next platform. Cory Bohm and this might be the final question we got here says here's a prime question when is the prime rebrand happening with the winky face I talked in the past while rebranding the channel I don't know if it's ever going to happen it's more of a legal thing I got a register as an LLC eventually and I can't really use the Nintendo branding in that however I don't have to register the exact channel as that or I can I can create something like Prime Media I can call it Prime Media and that's what I register and the Nintendo Prime the YouTube channel could be under the umbrella of Prime Media which might be something I do instead of rebranding the channel because I have other channels to consider as well such as the Nintendo Prime podcast channel that's now got to be under the umbrella as well especially if that ever makes money I don't know if it ever will but if we get 4,000 watch hours I could turn ads on and make a few pennies and then you know I also I'm spinning up a sports channel called Prime Informer so like getting all that under one umbrella would be nice so I'm not sure if I'm going to end up rebranding but hey it's an option if I need to anyways folks thank you so much for tuning in to Nintendo Prime we didn't have as many questions this time around as last time but that's okay remember if you have any questions that you want me to answer next weekend all you have to do is drop them down in the comments below we are getting ever closer to Prime Game of Fests be sure to go enter our giveaway down below as well this has really really been a great experience and I am proud to announce that tomorrow ho ho tomorrow we are bringing back wait for it wait for it I'm too excited I'm way too excited Prime news everybody remember everyone check out Prime news tomorrow my goal I don't want to fully communicate my goal is to have Prime news out by 10 a.m. every day and that's gonna be very very difficult for me to pull off but that's my goal that prom news using our other set by 10 a.m. every day we'll see what happens it doesn't mean there won't be other videos throughout the day I am debating on taking rumors and just always treating rumors as their own video and keep the Prime news just about actual news and leaks but we'll see what happens I you know really know it's gonna go with the damn flow around here anyways folks I will catch you guys in the next video might be a later today might be tomorrow might be next week I have no idea


I always find my day goes better when I have this in my water. It's what we call the pink drink. So I'm gonna tell you what I use so you can add a few other things that are optional that I'll tell you about. And of course I took it out of the regular containers just for travel, but I'll tell you what these are and you can always get them at our store at drjilhealth.com if you're interested in making your own pink drink. So the first one here is magnesium three and eight. This is our brain mag product. It's got a really delicious berry flavor. And I just put a scoop of that into the water. Second one here is plain old creatine. Creatine is really important for gosh, all kinds of cellular processes in the body, but especially making good muscle, decreasing percent body fat, helping your workouts. I'm a huge fan of creatine. You can add the creatine to your water. Most people should be able to use creatine safely, but if you have kidney issues, you definitely want to check with your doctor before adding creatine to your protocol. And the last one here is just pure amino acids. This is thorn amino complex. And it really gives you the broken down amino acids so that you have plenty of amino acids for your processing protein.  I often when I'm traveling, put it in a water bottle or a, where I can just shake it up. And there you have it, the pink drink. Tasty, it tastes like berry, absolutely delicious. I was gonna mention for some of you who need more electrolytes, this drink does not contain electrolytes.  So what you can do is add a teaspoon of Himalayan or Celtic sea salt to this and make it into a more of an electrolyte mix. I personally do better on a little bit more potassium. So I will often add potassium powder to that drink and make it even more delicious.

What brand of stainless steel crowns is right for you? I'm Dr. Jarrah Johnson and today's tip comes on selecting a stainless steel crown kit for your office. I would highly recommend using a pre-contoured and pre-cramped stainless steel crown. This is going to make it so you don't have to have as many adjustments on the crowns. The other recommendation I would have for you is to build your kit with different crowns so you don't have to select one brand if you like a shape of a different molar. So in my office I use Hew Freedy crowns for the maxillary first primary molars because they are wider in the buccal lingual dimension and they just have a better fit. You don't have to do as many adjustments. The rest of my kit is made from Neusmile. They actually manufacture stainless steel crowns as well. They are a higher grade stainless steel so you're going to have less wear through the crowns and also they are a lot more cost effective for my office and that is a win-win for both the patient and me.

We all go through tough stuff Maybe it's not something we want to go through Maybe it's something we're afraid of But as long as you push through it You'll always get a positive result in the end. I'm up here and I'm going down now Coming back down to earth. I've been up in the clouds too long.  Did I come up there? Great, I've got to go down you It's quite slippery as well because it was just raining. I'm answering questions to Everyone who sends a super chat of any amount It doesn't matter and then any suggestions on how to break free From my Nark family That will happen, you know when you try to leave them They'll often group together and turn against you That means you're most likely the scapegoat child That means you're most like the scapegoat child That's why they all turn against you. It's because they know you're different But you're different in a good way They wouldn't you think that it's in a bad way, but it's not if it's so different Why are they the ones who are stalking and harassing you? If that's not bad, I don't know what is So never let the convince you that you're the bad person you're not And if you look back in history you will see That it's always groups of people who are envious or jealous who always target that one person Just look at any prophet of God Just look at Jesus Look at what they did to him And was he a bad person? No The people who targeted him They were the ones who were doing bad things And because he spoke up about it, they didn't like it And it's the same thing with these Nark families When you start speaking up about what they're doing Things that you don't approve of Things that are not socially acceptable They don't like it They're not just going to suddenly look at themselves and realize what they're doing wrong They already know what they're doing wrong They just don't want to keep focusing on it So instead they're going to focus on you and they're going to find faults with you Whether they're real or imagine faults It doesn't really matter to them because they don't even care about the truth All they really care about is just destroying you So to answer your question How do you break free from your Nark family? You've really got to move away And I know that might not be what you want to hear But it's the truth As long as you are around them physically They're always going to be around you They're always going to have opportunities to stalk and harass you But if you physically distance yourself from them And you move to a different country or at least a different city It's going to make it very difficult for them to get to you But not only should you move away You also need to block them on social media Or just don't use social media at all Change your phone numbers Email address You have to make it as difficult as you can for them to contact you Any more questions? Please send me a super chat Of any amount, it doesn't matter And I will see it straight away then And I will provide you with a detailed response I hope everyone's doing alright I hope you're all eating well Going out in nature Enjoying the weather Whether it's sunny or raining It's all good When you're trying to heal from narcissistic abuse One of the best things you can do is something that you're really passionate about Something that really means something to you Going out in nature Being around friends and family that really care about you Or if you have any pets There is no greater healing power in this world Than love And that could be A love that you have for a person or animal Or it could be for A hobby or interest An activity But what it all comes down to Is the love It's the love that heals you When you've got love within you Nothing can destroy you And that's what these narcissists depend on It's taking away The love that you once had for yourself Other people And the world around you The love that you once had for life That's what they're trying to take away from you But as long as you keep that love inside of you No matter what they do, no matter what they say No matter what they take away from you As long as you keep that love inside of your heart You'll always be alright in the end No matter what they do Because all you really need Is to get you through this life When everyone's trying to tear you down All you really need is that love in your heart They're fueled by hatred And look where that gets them Nowhere But when you've got love in your heart You can do anything Carolina Blue 20 says I called my narcissistic mother Out in her narcissism My sister backed me up Now my mother acts like Neither of us exist Weirdly we miss her How should we handle this That's really typical narcissistic behaviour When you call them out on something They just don't want to acknowledge it They'll do whatever they can To deny the truth and reality Of the situation Even if that means cutting out The people around them And acting as though they don't exist If you can't validate their false self And the illusion that they're trying to portray You basically don't exist to them It's as simple as that You think that you miss her But in all honesty What you really miss is the false self The person that she pretended to be That fake kind caring person Who always had your best interests in mind But that's not who they really are That's just who they want you to think that they are So that you will then do what they want Because that's all it really comes down to People doing what they want And when you're not doing what they want They don't want anything to do with you They don't want to deal with the truth They don't want to deal with reality So my advice to you is If you really want to be involved With your narcissistic mother again You basically have to join her In denying reality Join her in denying the truth Because that's the only way That she'll ever want anything to do with you again As long as you Keep putting the truth in front of her Keep forcing her to reflect on Reality She's not going to want anything to do with you Because the whole point of the narcissism is They develop these coping and defence mechanisms Because they struggle to deal with reality They're in denial If I could describe narcissism in one word It's denial And the only reason They would ever want anything to do With anyone Is if there's Like a collective psychosis And they will induce that within you Because it's the only way that they can survive around you Because once you know who they really are Once you know what they're really about You wouldn't want anything to do with them anyway Thanks for the super chat Caroline Yes that's right Love is love Love is healing All you really need to get through this Is love Love and compassion


Okay, so good morning, good afternoon, good evening, whatever time you're watching this again. Welcome back to our recorded discussion. Still continuing about analytical techniques, instrumentation, and automation. Yeah, I know it's long because it's really long when it comes to your bishop. So although hopefully I was able to somehow summarize it in a way that you already know in which part to actually focus. Especially when it comes to analytical technique, instrumentation, and automation, we're actually going to cover three chapters. So we're actually halfway through the discussion, so hopefully I will also be able to help you understand the topics easier and better. Okay, so for this particular part, we're actually done with spectrophotometer, AAS, fluorometer, chemiluminescence, and electrophoresis. Now we're going to discuss your terbidimetry, your nephilometry, osmometry, electrochemistry, and then I think I would be doing a separate video for chromatography. And for the very last video, we'll be discussing about mass spectrophotometry and general principles with automation. Although no problem with automation because we've already started automation in your laboratory, so I was already able to discuss some of the key points or the driving forces that led to automation in the clinical laboratory. So with that, let's get started with our discussion so that we'll be able to finish up with these topics as soon as we can. So we're going to talk about terbidimetry and nephilometry. Please do remember, okay, so before I move forward, remember that when it comes to terbidimetry and nephilometry, I hope you still remember when we talk about your photometric spectroscopy. So there is a type of photometric spectroscopy that uses or that only measures the light, and there's also the other one, your spectrophotometry, okay? We have your photometry and we also have your spectrophotometry. So in your spectrophotometry, we dealt with light, spectrum, different wavelengths, and measuring a particular analyte. When it comes to terbidimetry and nephilometry, we're again going to measure your light, okay? We're again going to measure your light, but this time, we're measuring the light intensity or the light transmitted, but without considering your specific wavelength anymore, okay? So we're going to talk about terbidimetry and nephilometry, a very similar concept in clinical chemistry, but they are different from one another. And even though they are similar, there are key points for their differences, and I hope to highlight that in this discussion so that you'll be able to understand them immediately, okay? So let's get started. So first and foremost, always remember that both your nephilometry and terbidimetry are used to measure concentrations of larger particles. So large particles, what do we mean by that? This are actually for antigen and antibody complexes. So when we say antigen, antibody complexes, this is actually a bit more for immunology, although it's a good start because next semester we'll be having your immunology and serology around midterms for this specific topic. So hopefully you'll be able to still remember it by that time. So again, nephilometry and terbidimetry, we're measuring somehow larger particles. So we're measuring your antigen, antibody complexes, and generally your proteins, such as your pre-albumine or your transtyretine, and also several or other serum proteins. So as you can see, when we're talking about spectrophotometer, we are using that in the measurement of some of your analytes like glucose, your glucose, your enzymes, some of your lipids. And then for AES, we're measuring your elements, we're measuring a single atoms. When it comes to AES, similarly with your fluorometry and chemilaminescence, now when it comes to nephilometry, this is generally for larger particles. So I hope you get to compare the sizes of those molecules. So in here when we talk about your nephilometry and terbidimetry, again we're talking about measuring the concentration of large particles that because of their size cannot be measured through absorption spectroscopy. So meaning to say, your nephilometry and terbidimetry are for substances that cannot be measured through absorption spectroscopy. More specifically, what I want to highlight is that we cannot measure their absorbance. We cannot measure their absorbance. So that's what we mean by this statement. So because of that, if we are not measuring it through absorbance, how do we measure the concentration of these substances in the solution? So specifically for nephilometry, we measure the light, we detect or we measure the light that is scattered at far-used angles. So the scattered light yield a small signal and will be amplified in the measurement. So in the amplification part that is now your photo detector specifically, your photo multiplier too. So remember that in your nephilometry, the keywords here are the light scattered. Remember that in your nephilometry, we're not just measuring the light in a linear manner, but we're measuring it in several angles or in various angles. So remember that when your light hit a particular molecule, take for example an antigen antibody complex, instead of absorbing the light, it would scatter the light. So it would scatter the light in various angles. So in concept by principle, the more antigen antibody complexes are present in your solution, the more that the light will scatter. The more that the light will be scattered and the more light scattered, there is the more that you can measure the light and then that is nephilometry. In contrast, when we talk about turbidimetry, we're just simply measuring the reduction of light. So measures the reduction of light transmission due to particle formation, thus it detects a decrease in the large signal. So I would go again with my example last time. So if I have my flashlight, if I open my flashlight, the light being blocked there, the light being blocked or the reduction in the light is being measured in your turbidimetry. So simple. Okay, let me just show you a particular illustration so you would be able to understand it better. Here, I want you to look at, when it comes to your nephilometer, we're measuring light scattered by your particle. So we're measuring it typically within 90 to 15 to 90 degrees in angle. So as you can see from the light source, I want everybody to look at the screen. So you can see on the light source, you have your lens. So typically this would act like your monochromator. Okay, that would just simply concentrate the light into your cuvette. Your cuvette containing now your samples. Okay, containing now your sample. And as you can see, unlike the traditional one, if it is a linear, that would be for your turbidimetry. But I want you guys to focus on the detectors or the photo detector on the 90-degree angle and also on the 15-degree angle. So these two detectors, okay, detector 90-degree light scattering nephilometry. And you also have the detector of forward light scatter for your nephilometry. As you can see, we have multiple detector for your nephilometer. So that's one difference between nephilometry and turbidimetry. Okay, so it uses multiple detectors. Aside from that, what we again measure here are not the transmittance nor the absorbance, but rather we are measuring the light that is scattered. So as the light meet your antigen-antibody complex or your larger molecules like prealbumin and other protein, the light will now bounce off or the light will now scatter. And the light being scattered is the one measured by nephilometry, okay, or the one measured by nephilometer. So let me repeat myself with that again. The one that is being measured by your nephilometer or your nephilometry are your light scattered, okay, your light scatter. So as the light reaches a particular molecule or a particular complex, the light will scatter. And the light scattered at various angle, usually from 15 degrees to 90-degree angle, that is what we are measuring. In contrast to your turbidimetry, in turbidimetry, what do we measure? We measure the reduction of light transmission. Gaano kayo dami or gaano kakonte yung ilaw na hinaharang or tinatakpan nung ating complex, no antigen-antibody complex natin or no giban natin mga proteins. So in that sense, okay, if you're going to look at your illustration again from the light source, okay, you have the lens, you have the qubit and then after the qubit, you have now the detector, usually for spectrophotometer parayas and also your turbidimetry, ganan na ganan din pag ating sa turbidimetry, okay. So ganan din pag ating sa turbidimetry. The orientation of the components are similar to your spectro. Linear lang talaga sila. So again, light transmitted in the forward direction is the one being detected. So we're not measuring the other light that are scattered in any angle. We're just simply measuring the one at 180 degrees, okay, yung straight lang, yung linear lang. So in here, the amount of light absorbed by the suspension of particle depends on your specimen concentration and also your particle size. So unlike in spectrophotometry, okay, the amount of the absorption, the absorbance is represented by your concentrate is directly proportional to your concentration. In here, in turbidimetry, not only is your concentration the one affecting your absorbance but also your particle size. So mas malaki yung particle, mas madami yung na absorb niya na light, okay. That's why hindi ito tulad ng spectrophotometer in natin, okay, hindi ito tulad ng spectrophotometer in natin. Because again, if you guys could remember beer slow, the molar absorptivity is constant. In turbidimetry, hindi yung constant kaya hindi beer slow, pagdating kay turbidimetry ha. So again, when we're talking about turbidimetry, if this is the light source, okay, let me just open na lang my flashlight. So if this is the light source, okay, if this is the light source and this is your qubit, okay, take for example this one's your qubit. So the light that is being blocked, okay, kung gaano ka dami, okay, kung gaano ka dami yung nag-pass-through, okay, kung gaano ka dami yung nag-pass-through, yung yung minime-measure natin sa turbidimetry. Okay, yung yung minime-measure natin sa turbidimetry. So again, makikita na tayo ha, turbidimetry, it measures the reduction of light. In your nephilometry, it measure the light scatter, okay, the light that is scattered at values ang get. So if I'm going to go back to that particular slide, I want you guys to remember this because this will already take you far when it comes to nephilometry and turbidimetry. So let's just try to differentiate them further. Again, when we're talking about nephilometry, we're measuring light scatter, okay. Again, nephilometry, light scatter. In turbidimetry, we're measuring the reduction of light, okay. Second difference between the two. In nephilometry, your photodetector, specifically your photomultiplier tube are situated in various angle within 15 degrees to 90 degrees angle. When it comes to your turbidimetry, it is in linear form. So you have your light source, your monochromator, your qubit, and you already have your photodetector also in the form of your photomultiplier. So always remember that, okay. Similarity, your nephilometry and turbidimetry are usually being used when we're talking about larger molecules because when it comes to this larger molecules, not only is the concentration affecting the light being scattered or the light being reduced but also the size of your particle, okay. We're also now taking into consideration the size of your particle. Kasi mas malaki yung particle, mas madami yung inaabsorb niya. And that would contradict now the molar absorptivity when it comes to beer flow. That's why we cannot use your spectrophotometer. Okay, we cannot use your spectrophotometer. Okay, so moving forward. So those are actually your nephilometry and your turbidimetry. So with that, okay, I hope I made myself clear when it comes to turbidimetry and nephilometry. So if you have any questions or clarification, please feel free to send me a message. So that is it for nephilometry and turbidimetry. I think this video into segments so that you'll be able to only go back to turbidimetry and nephilometry if you would want to. But I will also be discussing your osmo metri right after this. So if you have any questions, so please send me your messages or send me your message regarding your question. So that is nephilometry and turbidimetry. Thank you so much for listening.
