OTAN, Outreach and Technical Assistance Network. Hello everyone, my name is Marjorie Olavidis. I'm a project specialist for the Outreach and Technical Assistance Network, also known as OTAN. And I'd like to welcome you all to this month's OTAN Tech Talk. Our speaker today is Penny Pearson, Distance Learning Coordinator for OTAN. Her topic today is creating accessible documents. Let's get started. Go ahead, Penny. Thank you, Marjorie. And welcome everyone. We're here today. As Marjorie said, I'm Penny Pearson and I am a coordinator with OTAN. And I have acquired a passion for accessibility over the past several years as working for OTAN. So we're going to go through this basically demonstration first and I'll give you some information and resources along the way. And at the bottom of the slide here that's showing on the screen is my basically a website where I've got some accessibility resources and I encourage you to go and check it out. There's other presentations there but you can find the information on accessibility. So I want to give you a little rundown here of what we're going to do. And it's going to be basically as Marjorie said it's just a demonstration. And then after we're finished we can provide some time after the recording to help you with some particular questions you may have. So we're going to talk a little bit about why it's important, how California stacks up in the disability department nationwide. And I want to teach you to fish. So we're going to kind of move forward under that premise.  Now I just want you to understand that the Microsoft accessibility checker is specific to Microsoft products. I will not be doing anything with any other products such as Google tools or any others. There have been some in the past but pretty much Microsoft is here to stay. So the why, according to the World Health Organization over a billion people live with a disability. And this ranges from 360 million have some sort of hearing disability to 386 million people of overall work with some kind of a disability. Now in the United States that number is a little lower 61 million adults in the United States live with some kind of disability. And that's basically one in four, okay? That's 64%, one in four, or sorry, 26% and I'm inverting my numbers there. And California follows very closely and by follows very closely I'm saying to that national average. The slide here is giving you the different categories of disability between mobility, cognition, independent living, hearing, vision, self-care. And the tan colors are representing the types of disabilities within the United States as a whole and the blue charts or bars there are giving you California's percentage of disabilities for each of those categories. So, you know, everybody's like, well, nobody has a disability in my classroom and I would challenge that because we don't always know and something as simple as wearing glasses such as what I'm doing right now. I need assistive technology, right? The glasses to help me see. So it is something that we all should be very aware of and not only that, it's the law, okay? There have been several different types of lawsuits and efforts by the federal government, different types of applications within the states but basically, you know, we're looking at section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act. Now that was done in 1973, but in 2017, there was a big revision that by January of 2018 all federal contractors, so keep that in mind. Most of you are in state districts or school districts or something like that. You're gonna have a little different rules but we as OTAN, we are contracted through the state of California with federal money. So this is kind of our frame that we have to provide compliance with something called WCAG, which is WAC, which is the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines of 2.0 and AA. Now, don't worry about knowing all that, it's just know that this is a law that's been in effect and we have to provide our content in a form that is accessible under those rules. Now, there are other laws, including the Americans with Disabilities Act and then of course the WCAG that I just mentioned. The object of today is to give you the necessary tools using Microsoft to meet these requirements as best as possible. This is not something that you should feel like you should have to go back and do everything over again. That's not what I'm saying, but I am saying by this awareness, you can now move forward and you can provide your teachers, your learners, your administrators, your staff with some guidelines and ideas of how they can ensure that documents are accessible as well as any of your learners who may have a disability, they can be offered an equivalent experience to something that may or may not be accessible to them because of a disability that they may have. So I mentioned earlier that I really want to teach you to fish, okay? And that means that you get those tools so you can fill your own tackle box with the tools that you need in the type of work that you do. I come from a teaching background, I was 12 years in the classroom and I shudder to think how poorly my handouts were not accessible. Not only was I providing them in a printed form but I provided them in a digital form and they were woefully unacceptable. So now I want you to have those different tools to ensure that whether you're providing a paper handout to your learners or you're posting documents on your website that you can provide that equivalent experience. Now, I don't know how many of you have a disability where you may or may not use assistive technology, but one of the things that seem to bring this issue to light for teachers is to understand how our learners who use assistive technology interact with our content. So I have a short video here that is only about two minutes long and it's basically to kind of give you a simulation of how screen readers interact with documents. So let's just pause for a second here for two minutes. Marjorie, let me know if we have any audio issues, please. People often ask what difference it makes if a document is accessible or they say they know that there is no one with a disability that will be receiving their content. There are no guarantees. Documents are often shared among others. You don't want an inaccessible document attributed to your name or your company. Additionally, many accessibility features actually benefit and improve the reading experience for everyone. Today we want to simulate what someone who uses a specific type of assistive technology, a screen reader, encounters when they access a poorly structured document. Then we'll show you what their experience is like once the document has been made accessible. Keep in mind that screen readers are just one type of assistive technology. There are many different types of disabilities and subsequently many varying technologies for people to use and experience content. In this video, Kami, one of our Section 508 specialists is going to walk you through two scenarios to demonstrate the impact of creating accessible materials. First, take a look at this PDF. We have colored large text, graphics, a process flow, lists, and link text. What else do you see? Now we're going to simulate using a screen reader by covering up the document. This is how someone using a screen reader would experience it. Interacting with kids, kids can be of any age. Save the song. All the king's horses and all the king's men couldn't put Humpty together again. Humpty, Dumpty sat on the wall. Humpty, Dumpty had a great fall, semi-colon. Have a treat, select a graphic item. Bullet French, graphic fries. Bullet Ice, graphic cream. Enjoy the graphic flavor. Travel to graphic McDonald's. Activities of play, try some of these colon. Play a board game, make a paper blade mask. Go to the park. Send us an email to get more great ideas. Graphic logo.jpg. Was that what you expected to hear? Was all the content read? Clearly, this page was not created in an accessible manner. Now let's listen to how the screen reader interprets the content now that we've remediated the document. Graphic ABC Interactive Logo. Petic level one interactive with kids. Kids can be of any age. Petic level two, say a song. Humpty, Dumpty sat on the wall. Humpty, Dumpty had a great fall, semi-colon. All the king's horses and all the king's men couldn't put Humpty together again. Petic level two, have a treat. Graphic Acquiring a Treat Process. See the next page for full description. Petic level two, activities of play. Try some of these colon. List of three items. Start, bullet, play a board game. Start, bullet, make a paper blade mask. Start, bullet, go to the park. List end, send us an email to get more great ideas. You should have noticed that the screen reader said heading before the colored phrases. The graphic had a meaningful description and was read in the proper order at the top of the page. The column content was read in the proper order. There was a list that included the number of total items. A link was indicated so that we can activate it with the keyboard. And our process flow had a brief description, but indicated that there's a long description available. So that you can review one method of handling complex graphics, we're going to show you one example of how to handle the graphic in this document. Petic level two, Acquiring a Treat Process. List of three items. One's on travel to McDonald's. Two's on selected item. List of two items, testing level one. A dot french fries. Mead dot ice cream. List at testing level one. Three's on a joiner flavor. A numbered list structure was used to show order and a sub list helps identify the hierarchy of the content. Hopefully you can see how important it is to structure your content. This kind of structure can be applied to all office documents in PDF. OK, what did you think about that? Give me some information in the chat, because this is something that a lot of folks, they never hear what a screen reader sounds like or they haven't used one. And understanding this process of structure is really important. So we're going to do this through using the Microsoft tools. And I put on this slide literally, Microsoft is your friend, because basically at this moment, it's currently leading and providing accessibility tools for the production of documents. And it's great for learners. If you're teaching and like we're processing, it's always good to teach your students to learn how to use this tool. It's also great for us as creators to understand why it's important to provide this type of service to our learners as well as teach our other teachers how to do this. Now, basically this tool provides errors, warnings, and tips. And as we go through this in terms of looking at what are errors, and these are the ones we really want to fix the errors. But warnings and tips are meant like you really should fix a warning, but sometimes you can't. And I'll try to show you an example of that. And then tips are just that. It's like helping you find ways to make your document more accessible. Now, I want to point out that this check accessibility tool in Microsoft, it's really great. It does a lot, but it doesn't do everything. And so I'm going to give you another tool toward the end of the session today to consider using, especially if you are a teacher that really loves to use lots of color, colorful graphics, or text boxes that have a background and a foreground color, or background color for the fill, and the text is a different foreground color. It's very important to consider our vision learners and their potential for color blindness of some kind. And I have a tool to help you measure that color contrast. So the other piece that's real important that we'll try to do within the demo, if there's enough time before the end of the OTAN text talks, is also what are called the slide content placeholders in PowerPoint. They work very much in tune with a style in Word, which I will show you, to allow you to know that you are placing your content in a structured format. So we can move on then to the next item here, which is going to be a demonstration. So I'm going to just pause my share for just a moment, and I'm going to switch over to my other screen here. I hope, I hope, I hope. So I have two documents here that I will talk about. And now I'll need somebody to give me a thumbs up. And yes, Josh, everybody will agree with your statement. And that has to do with a lot of different issues that we can't fix. So that's something where, again, structuring your document can be much more helpful. On the left side here, I have a document that starts with an introduction. And then I use what's called Latinized Text, because I don't want us to get distracted by reading the content of this document. So you can see that I have separate paragraphs, and I have a graphic, and I have a couple of tables, and then I have an image at the end. So in Microsoft Word, and apologize for the scroll here, I'm going to go up and use this tool called the Accessibility Checker. The Accessibility Checker is on your ribbon under Review. Now, I have it selected here under Review, and I'm going to go to the Check Accessibility button here on that ribbon and simply click it. Now, what happens is, oh, gee whiz, my Accessibility Checker shows up over here on the left-hand side, and it says, huh, no accessibility issues found. People with disabilities should not have difficulty reading this document. Well, you'll notice in that previous clip that the Accessibility Checker was very careful once the document was corrected to offer you levels or headings. Now, if this document, pretend for a moment, was 50 pages long, and it had an introduction, executive summary, on and on and on, all these different headings, I would have to listen to all 50 pages through my screen reader before I got to where I wanted to go, which may be at the very end where it is recommendations for future, whatever. So I really want to use the built-in tools in Microsoft, and I'm going to talk about the Accessibility Checker here. I'm talking about using styles. So just think a moment about how many of you will select text, and you'll change it to bold, and maybe you'll change the font size to 20, and you'll go, oh, good. That's visually, it's bigger. People can see it and everything else. The screen reader still looks at it as plain old text. All you did was make it bold and make it bigger. The screen reader does not differentiate between bold, italic, underlined 10 point, 25 point. It just sees that as text. So you have not fixed the problem of being able to allow individuals to navigate within their document. Additionally, using styles within Microsoft Word allows you a very quick way to create a table of contents with a click. And I personally have done very long reports, and I used to have to do table of contents manually, and then the editor would come along and make a change and totally mess up my table of contents. I don't care about that anymore with Word because by using styles, I can not only allow a screen reader, somebody who's using a screen reader to navigate quickly through it, I can edit those styles very quickly across the entire document, and I can create a table of contents in the matter of a couple of clicks. So let's apply some of these headings and see what happens. The accessibility checker isn't really gonna change that much here. I will tell you that because it doesn't see a problem even though I'm not applying headings. I have personally sent a note to Microsoft saying, you really need to change that. You need to identify and tell people use styles to help people navigate through the document. So I'm gonna undo all those changes that I just did, and I'm gonna go back to my home tab on the ribbon, and you'll see in this middle section here, styles. I'm going to simply use the default styles in Microsoft, know that you can change them, you can create your own, you can make them different colors, you can do whatever you want with them. I'm just gonna use the built-in ones for purposes of time. So I'm gonna go ahead and turn off my little accessibility checker. Hopefully everybody can see this okay. I know that our screens are a little different sometimes, and I'm not seeing anything in the chat, so I think we're good. So I'm gonna just select this and through my styles on my shortcut bar here, I can choose what style I want to apply. I'll apply heading one, change the color. I get this little triangle indicator here that tells me visually as the creator that I apply to style, and I'll come down to these other ones, and I'm sorry, I just noticed I misspelled executive, but we'll just pass right on by that. And I'm going to apply styles here, and you know what, I'm getting a little lazy, so I'm gonna use my control key, and I think that was the last, nope, I have another one here, and I'm gonna select that second heading, and I have two headings selected here, and I'm going to apply heading two to both of them. So now everything has a heading, and if I go back to my review bar, my review ribbon, and I choose my accessibility checker, I'm gonna get the same message, but I know in my bind that I now have applied styles that will allow someone using a screen reader, they'll be able to hear heading one, and they can jump directly to the next heading, heading two, heading two, heading two, heading two, and they'll hear heading two, data collection and analysis, and they'll go, oh, I wanna listen to this part. They can skip everything else, whether it's on page two or 202. They have the control with that screen reader to navigate. Now, from here, I may have other items such as, oh, maybe my chart. Notice it didn't say anything about my chart. One thing you need to be careful of in Microsoft Word is that when you put in an image or a chart, it wants to look for what's called alt text. Now, on this image, you'll notice the screen checker said nothing about this image, nope, it's okay. The reason why is, is Microsoft employs artificial intelligence, which might be an interesting phrase in and of itself, but it will go through and say, oh, I'm going to tell you what this image is. And if I select this image, and I can do this a couple of ways, I use my right mouse button because it's fast. And I'm gonna come down here and look at edit alt text. Now, what happens over here in my little panel is that I see, oh, this was automatically generated, but does this description, a person posing for the camera, really say what's going on in this image? I personally don't think so. She's not posing for the camera. She's looking surprised at something that she sees on her cell phone. So I would change it. Now, if I were to delete this, okay, I'm gonna close this. And now my accessibility checker goes, uh-oh, you don't have alternative text on this picture and it's named picture one. And in the accessibility checker, it comes down and it tells you why should you fix this second screen? So by this, now with that change, I removed that artificially implanted embedded description. Now the accessibility checker says, oh, wait a minute, you need to fix this because I need to have something that tells my individuals using a screen reader, what is this image? And the accessibility checker underneath here will give you the steps to fix that problem. So I will right click on the object and then select edit alt text, which you saw me do just a moment ago. And I'm going to provide that new alternative text. Woman looking surprised at what she sees, oops, sees on her mobile phone. Does that sound like a better description than somebody posing for the camera? So once I close this, now my accessibility checker says, I'm fine. Everything is peachy. But I want you to understand that I've also provided alt text on my chart. So if I look at this, whoops, here, I have provided a descriptor, bar charts showing threshold percentages across age groups, 18, 25, 25, 50 and 50 and above. Now, you should also provide that same data in a table. Now, some people say, no, if I describe my chart well enough, I shouldn't have to do that. And that will be, that is a personal decision. But if you look at these two tables that I put in here, each one past accessibility, the key thing with accessibility in a table, no empty cells, no merged cells. And then the screen reader will read it fine from left to right. So the screen reader is gonna read sample age, number below threshold, number above threshold, second row, 18, 25, 75%, 20%. So the person at the screen reader is trying to have to remember what was the first column, what was the second column, what was the third column. So if you reverse it and change the way that the person experiences this data through a screen reader, now that screen reader is gonna read sample age 18 to 24, 75% below threshold, 20% above threshold, next row, sample age 25, 26 to 50, 45% below threshold, 50% above threshold, which is a better experience for someone who's using assistive technology. I'll leave that to you, okay? I personally like this one, but people reading this will go, what? So, we have to kind of get over this mindset of we're all visually oriented, what we see on the page is what's happening, but that's really not the case for that 25% of individuals who may be using assistive devices in some way, including a screen reader. So being able to provide the information that can be interpreted in multiple ways, I believe is very important. So now this document, what are the things that I have done? I've applied my styles, I have ensured that my alt text on my images and my charts are accurate. And now I can look at this document and go, I can believe this statement, no accessibility issues found because I've employed those tools that will help. And I'll just give you an idea of how valuable using styles can be. I'm gonna go back to my home screen here and I'm gonna, at the top of this page, I'm going to insert a table of contents, okay? Mandelit, no, there is not. The only way that the screen reader can be adjusted is typically with different languages, some languages read right to left. So I have not seen an example where you can force it on tables to read by column, but it's something we can look into. So I want to now show you how quickly you can use styles to make your document much more navigable for anybody else by putting in a table of contents. Now, when I want to do that, I'm gonna come up here up under references on the ribbon and on the far left side, this might be hidden just a tab, is my table of contents. And I have different varieties here and you can make custom ones and all kinds of things, but I'm just gonna make an automatic table of contents by clicking this. Boom, there's my table of contents. How hard was that? What's nice about it is that if I go in and I make a change like, okay, I can't stand this spelling error anymore. I look at this and I go, okay, I've spelled it correctly. And when I come up to my table of contents, wait a minute, it didn't fix it until I update it. So when I click in this gray space of my table of contents, I see this little button up here that says update table. And all I have to do is click that and I can either update the page numbers because I know I made a change that shifted my page numbers or I can update everything, which includes how these headings were spelled and I can click, okay. Now it's properly spelled. Also, they are all hyperlinked. So in the Word document, I can hold down my control key. Now let's pretend this is 220 pages long and I can jump immediately to that heading to get me to where I want to go, all right. Now, if I change any of my headings, if I change what I've written, all I need to do is update my table of contents. Very straightforward, very simple to do, but most of us are not trained to use the tools within Microsoft Word. We just learn how to make it look like we want it to look like. Now I want you to consider use the tools such as styles to help you not only make it look like you want it to look, but allow others who may use assistive technology to navigate within that document freely. Okay, that's Microsoft Word. Now I'm gonna pause my share here for just a second and get up some other documents because we're gonna take a little peek at Microsoft PowerPoint. So let me see if I can get this up and I want you over here, come on, come over here. You're not gonna come over here. Okay, we might have to do this a little different way. Let me see if I can pull this over. Sorry for the, I think you're getting a blank screen, aren't you? We're actually still seeing your Word document. Yeah, okay. So I'm trying to get my PowerPoint document to come. I have two screens here, guys. So that's why I'm looking way over here because it's like five miles away. Let me see if I can. Okay. She's actually got one long screen. Yeah. She's got one of those. So sorry. Okay, now what I'm gonna do- At least see your PowerPoint. Okay, so I'm going, I'm gonna need to expand the space here because I want you to be able to see this and I'm going to, so help me out, Marjorie, to make sure that we're seeing what we need to see. Are we seeing these side by side? That's what I want. Two PowerPoint side by side, yes. Okay, now I just want you to look at these. I'm gonna go through each one and the different slides, sorry. And you tell me, we're relying on vision, I know.  Here we go. And here's slide three, slide three, slide four, slide four. Do you see any difference between these two documents? Now, I'm gonna go into one and I'm going to run the accessibility checker and we will see what it says. So again, it's under review and I'm gonna check accessibility. And here's my, oh, oops, oops. I got four errors. Missing slide titles, wait a minute. All of these slides have titles, don't they? Keep that in mind. I'm gonna go to the other slideshow which is over here on this side and I'm gonna do the same thing. I'm just gonna go and check accessibility. Oh, I got different results. Huh, here I got no errors. I only got, I'm sorry, I got one error, excuse me, and a warning. So I have to go and look at these but my first thought is, well, why does this one on the right say that all of my slides are missing a slide title? This is a slide title, but it really isn't because what happened is that whoever created this PowerPoint presentation used blank slides and created text boxes and the accessibility checker says, well, this is just a text box. I don't know what it, it's not a title because the person creating this presentation never used the tools available within PowerPoint. They're document more accessible. And in this case, it is those placeholders that you see all the time when you come into Microsoft PowerPoint and you go to insert a new slide and you get this, click to add title, click to add title. Those are the PowerPoint placeholders. They are the styles of PowerPoint. This is where you can put in your information and PowerPoint will recognize, oh, this is the title of the slide because that's what the screen reader reads. Excuse me, that's what the screen reader reads. So when you don't use the title placeholder and you use a text box placeholder like we have on the other side, the screen reader is going, I don't know where to go. I don't know what's just first or what is second. So rule number one, always try to use the placeholders provided in PowerPoint. And a lot of times it'll hear teachers say, it's like, well, I don't want that there. I want it somewhere else. Well, you can move them, you can resize them. They're still the placeholder and Microsoft will recognize it as the title slide. And hopefully that part makes sense. But let's try to fix some of these other things in this document on the left, the demo document, and to ensure that we can fix those errors that we have and we can fix some issues with this hard to read text section. So I'm gonna delete this slide because I don't need it. And I'm going to click on this missing alternative text. When I do so, I see this as saying, well, there's a diagram on slide five. So when I click it, it brings it up for me. And how many of you use this type of art in PowerPoint? This is what they called smart art. And it's traditionally never good because there's an issue with the color contrast. Now I'm going to open up and I didn't have it open before I started, so I'll open it now. I have a color contrast analyzer and I'm gonna show you what that looks like. I hope as it opens because these are things that the Microsoft Accessibility Checker does not check. So it's up to you as the creator to do so. Now, we will post the link to this color contrast analyzer. I'm just gonna quickly show you how it works. First and foremost, it checks the foreground color and it checks the background color. You can do so using this little dropper to pick the color that you're working on. So that's the same on both the foreground and the background color. It gives you a sample preview of what you're doing and then it gives you the results. And notice it says WCAG 2.1 and then it has some minimums here.  But when I use this picker here and I'm gonna go and pick over here on my text in my, whoops, I moved my mouse, sorry, the text in my little triangle here. Well, I get white and now I'm gonna come and get my background color, which is this background. Notice what happened at the bottom of the results here. It says, uh-oh, uh-oh, everything failed. Everything failed. Okay, I didn't make it for double A, I didn't make it for triple A, I didn't even make it for just graphics. It says, no, no, this is hard to see. And what's nice about the color contrast analyzer is that I can look under view here and I can choose a color blindness simulation. Now, I don't know if you know anybody who is colorblind, but this can be very useful for you to see when people suffer these different types of color blindness. They have low red, low green, low blue, no blue, no green, no red, and how it may or may not be easier to see, okay? So to fix this, I have to get this ratio up where I get a pass down here, at least for my minimum double A.  I'm gonna select all this, whoops, sorry. Sometimes my mouse does not cooperate with me.  And now I know there may be howls of protests where people say, well, wait a minute, I really like these colors. Well, you're gonna have to make a decision and choose wisely, as I would say, right?  And now I see, oh, I did better, okay? I'm meeting my double A requirements and that has to do with these ratios. And there's a whole bunch of tutorials on these ratios.  I just like this because I either pass or I don't. And I know that it will pass for user interface components on graphical objects, which is what I'm trying to meet here. So I'm hoping this makes sense because there's many of us that love to use color, but sometimes what we don't understand is that by changing the font color, we may be making it very difficult for somebody else to read our texts because they have a situation of color blindness to be able to see it. And we have the same thing over here with this text box. I don't know if it's very easy for you to read, but I would always test something like this. So again, it's the same process where I'm going to choose the foreground color, which in this case is going to be the same, but I'm gonna demo it again.  So what am I going to do now? I gotta fix it. So I could try fixing it. This is just a plain text box. So if I tried fixing it with like, I don't know, what would you think would look better? Should I try white and then see what happens with that color? Again, I could come and grab that color. My mouse is just not helping me today. When I select that color, I pass my minimum double A requirements. I pass my UI components. This fail for regular text is really tough because these are the newer, more stringent standards under WCAG, they're not fully in place yet and not everyone needs to meet these requirements, but it's really nice to see how you compare across the board. So now we've gone through Microsoft Word, the accessibility checker, using styles, looking at the alt text that it provides because sometimes it's not accurate, looking at how perhaps you could offer data in a chart in a different format in order to allow somebody who's using a screen reader to have a better understanding of what that chart data means. And then also making sure that by using styles, you can see how you have greater flexibility in using these tools for all kinds of reasons. The table of contents to me is just amazing. And then switching to Microsoft Power, we have the same concept with using placeholders, right? And placeholders do a fine job and we do have an accessibility checker that tells me here, well, I'm missing alternative text on this item and I'm gonna go ahead and do the same process of putting in a, I'm sorry, let me get to find it here, putting in alternative text. I'm gonna add a description and I'm gonna, again, it's gonna be a list item for the best chocolate. Now, chocolate isn't even mentioned here but chocolate's on my brain right at the moment. So now when I go back, I only have one warning and it's again going to that same diagram. I would need to change these two additional items to make sure that all of my color contrast is working correctly and I'll change this to black like I did the others. And I'll bet you, at least I hope I'll bet you that my warning will go away and I now receive my no accessibility issues found.

So, to make sure you're in the right place, we're in a webinar looking at Teach Active, which is a great platform to think about, you know, physical learning in the curriculum, how we can support people's transition back to school, whatever you're working from, with a physically active recovery curriculum.  So last time we did a session early February, we had over 200 people watching. So maybe one or two of you have come back again, or it's your first time. So just let us know. So hi, Polly. So all your messages, folks, in the chat box come to me only. So do say hello and training teachers or experienced school teachers. There's five of you watching at the moment. So let me know where you're watching from. Otherwise it's going to be a bit lonely talking to myself. So where are you watching from? What do you do? So John, while people find out where the chat box is, can you just say hello to everyone and let everyone know your role in a quick little whistle stop introduction about Teach Active? Yeah, brilliant. OK, good afternoon, everyone. Nice for those of you who've managed to join us. I know it's really busy at the moment. So my name is John Snedley. I'm the founder of Teach Active and some of you may have come across Teach Active before some of you it may be completely new to you. But of course, Teach Active, as well as delivering a lot of teacher training, we actually have the Teach Active resource, which we're going to demo to you this afternoon, which has been used and utilized in schools for the past six years, making a real difference as we will show and the benefits to that. And hopefully it's something that you look at and actually think that it can be of beneficial to your children within your school or within your setting as well. OK, thank you, John. So again, in the chat box, everybody, just for a bit of feedback, we can see the conversation to suit you much better, having a small audience. And so I've got a couple of training features. Holly and Kate, is it primary or secondary? That would be very helpful. And thank you, Fiona, in Swansea, an FE lecturer. OK, secondary, thank you, Holly. And primary, Kate. OK, so anybody else watching? John, so I guess we can start with what is Active learning to begin with? Maybe you want to just put a slide up on the screen or show everyone what the website looks like. You know, you and I are familiar with the platform. We've been looking at this for a couple of months, at least from my perspective. And I know Teach Active have been around for a number of years. Can we just give everyone a quick little whistle stop introduction? Of course, yeah, I'm just. I.T. seems to be working very slow at my end, but just my screen with you and just a couple of slides, literally just to what teach at times in this situation rather than always necessarily listening to me talking to you about what Teach Active is, it's sometimes nice just to do a two minute video and just to see some children taking part, see some teachers and head teachers talking a little bit about what Teach Active is. So I'm going to try and share this with you. Working from home like many others of us, I think my internet decides to be a little bit slower, but I'm going to try and share the video with you. If not, Ross, we're going to have to. But yeah, of course, physically active learning, what we mean is just getting children up and back to active within the classroom. And of course, incorporating physical activity into English in your maths lessons. You know, it's something that I did as a teacher for 20 years as a peer advisor, as a then going back into school as a deputy head in charge of raising standards in English and maths and those key subjects like we all are, but actually thinking how can we get children to really love the subjects and actually found that by linking it to physical activity, you know, not only did it not only was it enjoyable, I actually had a whole host of benefits. So let me share this video with you. And as I said, it's just much nice to see some children taking part. Teach active are passionate about active learning, incorporating physical activity into the English and maths curriculum and using this approach to really drive up attitudes and attainment within these key subjects. Children benefit from teach active because the minute we mention we're going to do one of the activities straight away, I came to get involved, smiles on the faces and really want to join in, which is just so pleasing as a teacher. But it gets the children engaged, it gets them active, gets them moving and thinking once you've tried it a couple of times, it's a go to for lessons because it is so easy. They can choose their objectives, go to a drop down menu and the resources and lesson plans are there for you. That helps save teachers hours of planning time. The biggest thing is pupils really want to join in and take part with all the different activities that we've given them. So I definitely recommend it to the schools. We've got children now that we love maths and really enjoy and are engaged in it and that's really showing them the results. They want to learn them. They don't realise they're learning actually. Not only will it impact on your data, your standards, your outcomes, but you're seeing a renewed and vigour and enthusiasm and enjoyment across both pupils and staff. Containing over 3,000 plans mapped to the primary curriculum and covering every objective from foundation stage to year six. Teach active will save your teachers hours of planning time and complement any scheme of work and it will really allow active learning to become embedded within your school. Thank you, John. And so thank you to one or two that are just joining. So there'll be a good number of people watching this recorded after. So if you've just joined in the chat book, just let us know where you are watching from, your context, what you teach. And the teach active, John, we know it's a portal of resources for teachers. We know that well-being is going to matter before covid, and particularly during and after. And could you just we've got a few snapshots from teachers in the video. You know, what are the benefits that you've seen in your life, you know, running teach active for a number of years now? What and last time we met, we had the privilege of Steve Tindall, one of our headteachers, talking about how he has each active immersed throughout his whole school culture and what are the benefits? OK, so I mean, as you saw, that teach active is this huge bank of ideas of resources. It's not a scheme of work so it can sit alongside and comment anywhere that schools are already doing. And I suppose that's a great question. You know, schools might say to me, well, actually, John, attitudes are really attainments, really good. But I would certainly say that, first of all, we're going to make the school day more active by by taking this approach. It's something that, you know, has always been very passionate. Something I've already always believed in. And more recently, of course, the Department for Education of our schools actually don't push physical activity to decide as part of your perhaps recovery curriculum as we all know it now, but actually prioritise it. And we're going to make the children more active. We know that children have been very sedentary over lockdown and during lockdown. But also it's that it's that love of learning. Steve Tindall, as you mentioned and many other schools say it's, you know, that's what we love as teachers. We want smiles on faces. We want children to love English and maths. We want them to have positive relationships with these with these subjects and certainly active learning. You know, that's what children really loving it. But it's not very in all good fun. It's not just that it really helps attainment as well. So we can do it in whole class and sessions. We can use it for interventions. We can use it for a lot of maybe addressing gaps in learning at the moment. And what we're seeing is that actually, you know, it's helping children to retain information and then recall that information and have that that deeper learning that, of course, is really important. So, John, we're put for time. So for a context, everyone, last time we met, we had over 200 teachers taking part in a webinar in February, we had an hour together, but this one's a short micro session. So, John, can we get the software up on the screen and allow everyone to see the kind of teacher profile? And in the chat box, everyone, I'm going to put the link to the free trial. So you have a little play with this. OK, so if my video thumbnail is anyone in anyone's way, you'll be able to just move that just by hovering above. I'm sure we're all used to using Zoom by now. But what I've done is I've just logged in to teach active. So it's an annual, you know, it's an online and an online resource. I think when we say that it can sometimes scare teachers. And I suppose that it may have as for me as well, but it's so easy to use. So on the left hand side is where we push all messages. But on the right hand side is where we want to focus our maths and our English lessons. We've got our homework. I will mention things to you like the whole school staff training. So if schools find that they want to introduce teach active, we provide training as part of that. But let me just click on the active maths lessons and let me share with you why teach active is so popular and why teachers love it and why, as I said to you, it saves you hours of planning time. OK, I did warm up before that seems right. OK, here we go. Lovely. So all we simply do is we choose our year group. We choose our area of maths and then we choose our objective. So we're all very familiar. So we can decide, well, what year group am I working with? We then get the area of maths and it's mapped to the English maths curriculum. So those of us who are following the English curriculum. Once we've chosen our area of maths, we then get every single objective as it's written in the national curriculum. So we can have a lot. What objective are we looking at this unit this particular day? And once we've done that, we then get a list of games on how to teach it through movement through getting children up and about. And that might be a lesson plan in the, you know, that might be something that we're doing in the classroom or it might be because sometimes that's the only space that we've got. Other times it might be encouraging children to go outside and or go down into the hall. And there's over 2000 maths plans. There isn't a single objective that we don't cover. Every single year group. And then, of course, if you like this lesson plan, you the lesson plan and all the resources are here for you. So I'll very quickly show you that just to Ross and everyone on that it's great because we've got the lesson plan. Great for the teacher, great for the teaching assistant. You've got it there. You can save it. Of course, you can print it off. And then all of the resources, answer sheets, record sheets, everything that you need for that game to go ahead is then provided. So perhaps many of you on this school, you've tried a bit of active learning before, you think the children love it. Actually, you really enjoy it, but it maybe takes you all Sunday afternoon to planet where you can see here it is all done for you. And Ross, I'll just give people a quick whistle stop toward the English as well. So again, those schools who are thinking, can I teach reading and writing but through physical activity in order to get that activity and levels up in order to encourage learning? Of course, so we can choose our year group. We've then got the areas of reading and writing. So if I went for a bit of writing, this is all perhaps all of our grammar, all of our gaps work, and for example, if I choose text level and it's with three and a half thousand lesson plans, it's perhaps hard in such a quick whistle stop toward to give you an idea. But as Ross said, you can sign up for a free trial and you can have a good look at these lessons. And actually, if you're working in the school at the moment, you can have a go and do them with the children. And let me finally share with you, we've done a bit of writing. Let me share with you a bit of reading. And any of you are interested in learning more, you can book a one to one with me, something I'm doing a lot of at the moment. And, you know, I can give you a bit more in depth look. But once we've gone for reading, we then get asked to choose which genre of text. Once we've perhaps chosen that, we then get all of the key skills, which we've got to teach as a primary school teacher, as we all know. Infants, I always say, it's such a big one. So this time you get the idea, we choose a game. Final thing to mention on this is on the right hand side here, you get the lesson plan, you get the resources. But because we've gone for poetry, so, for example, if I need a poem, you'll see that the poem is provided. And, of course, that's the same for when it's a story or when it's perhaps, you know, your letter, you put with Swayze White writing. The text is always there and is always provided for you as well. And that can be shared whole class, interventions, guided reading. And, of course, this is why teachers love it so much. Because, yeah, not only the benefits, but, of course, it's all done for you as well. Well, I'm just nodding, like a nodding dog at the back of the car all the time. And so you mentioned work, though. We know that burden of the teacher, that Sunday night planning that horrible stomach feeling. It's great to see that everything's in one place. I know you have, from your own passion as a teacher, isn't it, you've built this over a number of years. Could you show the audience an overview perspective, maybe a curriculum angle? Is there an admin feature? And I know one or two people we want to know the free trial. So in the chat box, everybody, the free trial link is there. And then we'll talk about costs later. If you are a middle school leader, what's your thinking? How can I get this into my school? What will it cost? Yeah, I mean, in terms of the overview and a bit of an admin, all I would say to you is it's mapped to the maths in English quickly. What I will do is if I just go on to, if I just go back to this slide here, just a moment. Well, I shall see it, John. You need, yeah, there you go. Okay, so if I share with you, I can just give you that overview in terms of, you know, all of the, as I mentioned, all of the objectives are covered. And that's what teachers like because every single week, every single lesson, there will be something that you can do. And when we were, you know, when we were submitted to the Department for Education and the example of good practice, the school that took it and said, well, one of my maths lessons each week will be through Teach Active. So it wasn't all of the time. As I said, all the brilliant work that you're already doing, it was to sit alongside it. And I think the benefits, of course, that we've already mentioned. And, you know, we work with over a thousand schools within the UK. We won many different awards that have many different accolades from, you know, such high awards as well and government reviews. But actually, what the best thing for us is those schools who work with us who come back and say this makes a real difference to the children and to the teaching and learning within our school. Thank you, John. So I'm just going to pose to people watching any questions in the chat box. And I'll ask John the question. Just for the chat box, your comments come to me only. So I'll pose them on your behalf. So just to recap, you know, we're looking at Active Learning here, how it can help your children's mental health. It's going to reduce your teacher workload. John spoke about how it's being used in other schools and international settings. I think we had 25 countries last time, John. We connected with 200 countries. 40, I believe. 40, I believe. 40, I believe. 40, it might be 40.  So maybe John can talk about the PE sport funding in a moment if people need a bit of kind of oomph, I suppose, to take to school leaders to get that funding decision over the line. And as ever, for me, teacher workload, you know, that Sunday night feeling, having to come up with everything all the time, just to have off the shelf, resorters and lesson plans ready to go in those two important subjects, maths and English. I just think there's a huge benefit. So John, can you give a bit of advice in terms of funding for people watching? Yeah, of course. And, you know, I know it's perhaps early on, but of course, one question is, of course, the cost. We will come to, I will mention that at the same time, if that's okay. So I just, I can share some of these with you as well. But the best thing, of course, is to sign up for the trial as Ross mentioned. Okay, so for those schools who want to then subscribe to Teach Active and Indeed Do, of course, the free trial is there. It lasts for 14 days. It gives you access to not all of the plans, not all three and a half thousand, but, you know, it gives you access to three maths and three English for every class from foundation stage to year six. So you can have a go with your class. You can give them to your colleagues. You can say have a go and, of course, see if those benefits are in truth with your children or the active. Have they got smiles on their faces? Is it helping learning? And then if you think that Teach Active is something you'd like to roll out throughout your school, and as you can see, the price. So there's a slight discount for anyone attending the webinar as well, and a discount code for you there. So nine, seven, five, or 2,750, but reduced to eight, nine, five, and 2,500. Most schools, yeah, some schools use their English budget, their maths budget, maybe some of their COVID funding, but the vast majority of schools here in the UK use their P in sport funding. I'm sure most people are aware. So most all schools in England get 16,000 pounds plus 10 pounds per pupil. So your average school is getting 18,000 pound. It's ring fenced. There's a criteria of five things. One of those is making the school day more active, helping children to achieve 60 minutes. And of course, what we say is active learning is perfect for that. Rather than asking staff to do more, more, more, we're just saying do what you already do, but incorporate movements. And of course, the research there shows the impact that that can have. So John, we're talking about primary setting here. I know there's a couple of secondary teachers watching in an FA lecture at least, from what people have taught me in the chat box. Any advice for what they can do with the software in their context, if it's going to be transferable or not? Okay, yeah. So funny enough, because we work in partnership with the youth sport trust, too many of the will know. And we do have a lot of secondary schools who use TeachActive with year seven and year eight children, with SCN children, or as part of a transition project as well. So if we have different bespoke prices, for example, if schools get in contact and say, this is just the one class of SCN children, there's 24 children. So in order for that, if I share with my email at the end, and if anyone wants to kind of open up that discussion, very happy to deal with that, yeah. Right.  Yeah. I know a lot of teachers will want to see those in a bit more detail. Could you just explain what some of these are on the screen? There's just some... Of course, yeah.  And of course, Zoom has perhaps taken that away a little bit. But this year two game, you can see on the lesson plan, we've got the area of maths, and we've got the objective. And the typical games that I'm sure that you've played before, but some children would have an analog clock, some of us would have a digital clock. We might dance around the room to music, and when that music stops, we're all going to find a partner. And then we swap cards, and we go again, and we go again. And this might inform planning, it might help with assessment, but just really helping children to master the key skills, really encouraging maths chat, some good social skills teamwork. And if I was using this as an intervention, I might just do putting the clocks in different part, different maybe areas of the hall and getting the children to run and pair them up.  So what I used to do with my year six is I used to cut the clues and put them around the school field. This is a game where the children would answer a typical year six sats question, but the answer would tell them which card to go to next. And then the answer to that, which one to go to next, to next, to next. And the children, of course, completing multi-step problems. And when I do this with teachers on training courses, the competitive element always comes out in there, always running around. And if we have a look here, writing year one, what we're actually going to do is collect a big physical sentence, collecting cards, collecting words, and then we're going to join the words and clauses using the word and, and of course, as we go up through the year groups, we might start adding different things, different grammar or perhaps adding objectives adverbs and identifying nouns, but again, just doing it in more of an active, an active way. Children, this is a game for, you know, mentioned very quickly about paragraphs. And paragraphs can be something that's quite mundane, quite boring to teach perhaps, or we teach it and we think the children have got it, but actually maybe we need to revisit two weeks later and how they retain that information. And again, through playing it through fun and engaging ways. And often teachers say to me, John, the children forgot they were, you know, they didn't even realise they were learning or they forgot because they were just having so much fun and engrossed in the activity. Let's go on a treasure hunt punctuation. Let's go and read some, a story and then go and answer questions or go and find clues around and answer the questions that we've got. Here we're provided with a story and here similar, we're providing with poems where we would read a poem and then again, go and answer questions and explain key facts. So three and a half thousand lesson plans, Ross, just to give people a little bit of a flavour of perhaps what some of them look and feel like. But we say the best thing is to get a free trial and have a go with your class.  It's better for memory, better sleep even and good productivity in the classroom. The benefits are really clear, everyone. So any questions in the chat box now is your chance. John, I guess from me, I know we've got a couple of trainee teachers watching. What advice would you give them, you know, apart from sign up for the free trial? How are they going to convince the rest or to at school, their senior leaders to part of the cash or to sign up or to take a little look? Yeah, I would say, of course, for the trainee teachers that are with us, you know, we do work with lots of trainee teachers. So I don't know whether we've actually worked with you guys and again, let us know in the chat box. But again, if you've got a good relationship with your tutor, do mention Teach Active because we deliver CPD to universities and different organisations. But, you know, try and incorporate when you want to one of your school placements, try to sign up for a Teach Active trial with the school, see if they're quite open to you having a go at this way of learning.  And the only thing I could say is, you know, I know that teachers went into the profession like me because they want children to love learning. That's why we spend so long trying to plan engaging lessons and this, sitting alongside what you already do will really make a difference.  And, you know, I've seen that in so many schools. I'm very confident of that, not only within my own teaching, but we're now working with thousands of teachers across the country. So there you have it, folks.  You've seen all the resources, you've seen the website, you've seen how it's going to make your Sunday nights better. You know, it's also going to make the lives of your children happier, improve the maths and English also. And I think that was a great message before COVID. It's going to be even more important now. And, you know, I think the costs, you know, I see a lot of these platforms for my life as a teacher blogger. So I know the costs are pretty good. I know some of you will have questions, well, I'm a tiny, tiny little school or I'm an international school, those types of things. So feel free to pose the question in the chat box or unmute yourself. But I think that's it formally now, John, is it? We'll kind of end things there. We'll share the video and John's presentation with you all through Eventbrite. And I'll put this video up on my YouTube channel. So thank you, John. I've just shared in the chat box my email if anyone wants to touch base. But again, thank you for your time and for joining us. And I hopefully get the opportunity to work with some of you over the coming year. Thank you, John. Any questions? Jane, any questions? Anybody, Kate? Jane? Yeah, just one quick question. I was just saying, thank you. Sorry, Jane. You may have covered it. Apologies if he did. The cost that you mentioned, is that limited to a certain number of teachers or is that whole school access? Oh, hi, Kate. That is, yeah, sorry, and probably I didn't. So the, for example, the cost that we mentioned, that's for a school license. So that's for every single teacher across your school and they can all be on at the same time. They all get individual logins. And then it also stretches out as well for the teach active homework element that we have as well. So hopefully, therefore, it's for, you know, for that cost you can put active learning across your whole school. Okay. Great. Thank you very much. That was really helpful. Thank you. Thank you, Kate. Jane, a question? No, okay. Last chance. Would you say thank you? Oh, my pleasure. Thanks for joining us. Bye. Thank you. Any last questions? Anybody now who has your chance? So the hyperlinkteachactive.org forward slash contact. They say thank you for tuning in and get yourself physically active ourselves as well as your kids. But we'll leave it there formally. You're very, very last chance to unmute yourself. I'll ask a question otherwise. Holly, you've got yourself unmuted. Oh, no. I'm just going to go. But thank you. It was really good. Thanks, everyone. Bye. Thank you. Bye-bye. Bye, everybody. Cheers, John. I'll speak to you soon.

That's our first trinket And this will get you revered as well if you're really unlucky You need to keep doing more to get bangles essentially It's gonna be your first trinket that you're gonna use and it's gonna be very good This is how you get revered with Shattar I Hope you get lucky you can also do some architras runs if you want There is a cloak from architras That is really nice right So while you're farming rep you could you can cheekily do architras at the same time as Botanica if you get the bangle already do some architras runs before you're evaded as You can pick this up. This is this is handy to grab So you've got two two solid items already if you do that Then you've got your Shattar revered The other ones are shadow labs You want to do shadow labs and you can actually get a shadow labs boosts I believe but you want to you want to at least kill the first boss of shadow labs because he drops a wand Which is gonna be handy for you. You want this wand? It's good for a long time It's really good stats on it. We like and then you're gonna get revered doing shadow labs What was the other one? Caverns of time. Okay. Caverns of time is just a ball like all-round. There's nothing good from there I Think you need revered to do the attunement for BT But we don't care that much about shadows of time the main the main reason you want to revered with shadows of time It's not shadows of time what I'm saying caverns time The main reason you want revered is it because you get mooncloth legs from there And this is the other reason why we got those reps right saying about it earlier Because once you're revered you can buy these wait these All right, it's PvP gear, but you don't have to farm honor for it Which takes a lot more time So we want the legs. We want the chest This is on a whole revered look This one was caverns of time revered Now you have two options on the shoulders and and the hands you can go for the mooncloth ones if you really want the uh The foreset Which is okay Or you can go for satin now I recommend going for satin early on because you're going to have really low resilience And this is going to give you the double wait, this was the incredible Mubba Eared, it's this one Yeah, you're gonna have really low resilience.  You want to buy the wrists If you're alliance You can buy the belt right If you are lazy or horde you can go for the ng belt This is going to be helpful for you when you have no gear So I think this is a completely fine option too You will want the belt eventually if you're alliance. So I recommend farming it too, but you don't have to farm it straight away Now feet You want to go for boots of the long road This is a pattern that you can get off the auction house, right? If you're lazy and don't want to bother with doing tailoring Okay, don't bother going for them. You can wait. You can go for something from karazhan You know, if you do a cheeky karazhan run, you can get some other stuff Um, and that's fine if you don't want to do any sort of raids All right, we're going to start off with that and I will do no raids And we'll see what we can get so you can start with boots of the long road And you actually don't need to do any raids for this You just need to level tailoring and you need to get two netters and then you can make these and these are Really good boots And then you're chilling. I also forgot a pvp ring. I'm sorry That is just This one Don't bother getting the second ring I would say because it's gonna cost you a bunch more honor and it's gonna be a ball ache You can do it if you want to You can go for the veterans ring, right the season two ring And then go season two ring season three ring Without pveing that might actually be your best option come to think of it If not, you can get like the badgering, but it's gonna be a lot quicker for you to just go carousel and at least once So I do recommend doing carousel But yeah, you can go for badgering. I'll put badgering on there for now and then we'll talk about carousel. Let's do that So we've got the badgering. Um, there's there's probably better stuff, but it's kind of whatever So for now, we've got badgering on there and we've got our vindicators Uh And that's pretty much it for this side now main hand off hand and head are still to go to head We are ng. Oh, yeah, I forgot to talk about boots the long road.  It's not going to be as good as the pve options, but we'll get there in a minute And then this is this is all like no raids done. We literally just farmed our rep. We farmed our honor That's it, right? main hand in our hand This bit is probably going to be annoying Uh, it's season three so you can potentially buy the gladiators bits for honor But again, you don't want to be stuck farming so much honor. You know, it's it's a pain in the ass Especially for stuff that you're going to replace so if you are Not raiding You can farm the heroic Shadow lab one is fine um, what else You could actually this might be a shout you could go for the gavel of pure light with the shatar exalted if you have done more shatar stuff To get exalted you can grab this and that's probably the best thing that's available without doing any sort of raiding There is definitely an easier way which we will get to in a minute I'll put that put that for now since we're doing a no raiding set And then Probably the wind call is all honestly Uh, we can also go lord erin medical journal is okay as well But this is the thing right?  This is again. This is from exalted Scenarios, so it's a ball like to get I'm just going to put lord erin medical journal for now because it's going to be the most accessible I would say but it's a much it's much more of a ball egg to go and farm You know these rep items dungeon items are a random drop chance. It's much More reliable to do a cara each week if you can And if you do that these are the items that are available to you right you can go for the t4 helm Right You can go for prince cloak And and these may not all drop for you right but this is just an example of some stuff that you want to go for if you can You go for lights justice You go for Signet from morose And you're going to go for The ring is going to be So it's most likely going to be the The violet signet of the grand restorer You can also go if you did carazan you can also potentially do mag and grawl and we're going to limit that I think I don't think we're going to do any tk stuff Because that gets out of hand if you want to look at tk stuff. Maybe look at the season 2 business I'll put a link in the description If you're doing bt then the season 3 business, it's going to be more up your alley for the pve items But for now, we're just going to look at season 1 stuff You can you can get attuned even and get the band of a chat attorney either is fine Uh, let's just chuck that on because that's probably going to be easiest to get this is literally from killing what mag and and um And nightbane right to get attuned or the attunement quest for uh for hydral I think it was Wait, that's the wrong one. Isn't it am I talking about? Just go for the narrow light world and that's fine um, so Now we have our rep off parts We have our belt We have our boots the long road and again if you don't want to craft these you could just go for these right from carazan And this is literally doing a couple of carazans Most people won't need this gear You know try and try and get some mates together do a few carazans. It's going to help you out massively You can also go for If you don't get bangled you can pick up one of these wait, where is it? Feels blind man a pendant of the violet eye from aran. This is okay, too There are no really good ones from carazan. You can go for the Blue diamond which one but it's very rare So i'm going to leave sol wand on there for now because the blue diamond which one is is Unrealistic to get and we want to create sort of a realistic alt gearing path so We've kind of done two stages now, right?  I would say is the legs All right, and this is kind of like step two Like we did sudo step two earlier. This is real step two right You want to buy the legs and the reason you want to buy the legs You can find Is because the mooncloth leggings actually don't have any regen on So the upgrade is very nice On the gladiators piece so go for the gladiator piece first Second piece we want to go for is the chest For the same reason it's going to be vengeful.  It's going to be It's going to be vengeful Um keep in mind and in season three I believe you can actually buy the gladiator gear for honor So if you do want to farm more honor and replace your rep gear with some honor gear Before you place it or replace it with arena gear be my guest If it's an alt you probably don't have time. It's a lot of honor to farm honor is real slow So you're most likely going to be going from the blue to the vengeful same thing for the robe That's merciless feels blind man, okay Because again it has regen on we like And then next we're going to go for gloves And we're going to go for the mooncloth gloves and not the satin gloves Now The gloves are a tricky part right I would recommend trying to make a fives team because you're going to get a lot more points in fives than you are in twos or threes Twos or threes might be all right early very very early on when you can't find people because your gear is so bad But if you've got any gear at all you've got some friends try to do fives You can push it up to like 1800 2k and you're going to get a good amount of points from that You know approaching 1k if not 1k A week and that is going to be a lifesaver for you try and just get get it to the rating do 10 games a week It's it's a bit of a chore, but the point is it's worth it trust me. It's worth it Because this is where it gets a bit annoying and you can actually potentially swap your shoulders out for The mooncloth ones here actually I would I would suggest doing that be by the vengeful gloves Then you go to the rep vendor and you buy the mooncloth Shoulders maybe you can buy them at the start and this is gonna No, in fact, it does it won't even get you your foreset because it's not gladiator I thought for a second it would You can still do this because you don't need to sat in anymore um The other option you can do is you can wait You can buy your vengeful gloves and then you can wait And not equip them and it's gonna be painful right because they're a nice upgrade, but You can wait until you can buy the shoulders too and then upgrade them both at once to get the foreset so Personal preference if you feel like you're not missing the resilience from the two set whack-a-mom It's completely up to you And that is kind of stage two of you know getting some gear together on On your fresh. Oh Shouldn't take too long farming rep doesn't take too long The main thing that's going to take time is farming the honor and then you know a few weeks to get these four items from Arena And then once you've got these items you're actually pretty set you can push fairly well with this I would say You know, you're not missing that much in the way of stats. Yeah, okay. You're not biscuit. That's going to take some more time Uh, keep in mind you can also use bangle here. I would say bangle for twos And then pendant for threes if you've got it I'm going to put bangle on because you're probably going to be using it more um And then in the way of enchants, it's going to be it's going to be the same as the business right It's going to be standard. Uh, we're going to do hit on the helm We're going to do We're going to do insightful because you want the mana and we're going to do hit on the gloves I'm all over the place at the moment Sorry about that Spell strike So this is going to get us 2.3 hit. We want to put one more hit gem somewhere It's going to be the shoulders Because we're not ever going to swap the shoulders off now If you want to use The bt gems If you've got the gold Go for it. It's not imperative.  Wait, that's not it Choking Real night sight Just because we're doing budget And then we're going to go mystics in the chest And we're going to go how much resilience are we at? Let's take a look So we're at 244 isn't it? So yeah, we want all the mystics we can get at this point and the reason we're so low on resilience And this is what I was talking about a bit earlier The reason we're so so low on resilience is because we have the the edgy belt one So you can you can do two things you can swap the belt out if you feel comfortable Or you can put a second pvp ring on And this will bring your resilience up nicely now. Remember we can put 15 on the chest as well And this should actually nearly get us up to 300 Where is it? Uh, and we'll just do the rest of the enchants really quickly. So we're going to have pen and cloak And we're going to have the standard shoulder enchant Aldor if you can We've got a blue gem sock it up here Most likely you're going to want to put a spirit gem in that If you are feeling uncomfortable, you can chuck a resilience one in there. Keep that in mind It does come down to like personal feel Now our healing is quite low So on the best list I was actually talking about putting healing on Um, sorry putting mp5 on braces. I'm actually going to put healing on it here. I'm going to put healing on the weapon And uh, yeah, I will link the the season three best list in the description if you're interested in that I'll go into a lot more detail on that one golden spell thread on the legs And bore speed on the boots Uh, and I take it back. I'm actually going to put healing on the rings I think with this low healing you're going to benefit from it Because we are about 200 healing underwear we should be in you're definitely going to notice it Uh, yeah, so that's it. That's that's your sort of step two gear Again step one farm your rep and your honor And do karazhan and that's going to get you the full thing Uh doing your professions Whether that be ng straight into enchanting or ng tailoring and then enchanting That's your uh up to you if you've got the goal to do it by all means go nuts And then step two is obviously getting that arena gear on And you know as you get more honor you're going to be getting the weapon Uh, and then the offhand on the one I actually recommend getting the offhand and wand Before you get the weapon because they're quite cheap and they're very good So you can actually go for these second even so you could go for like the chest And legs and then straight away go for the offhand and wonder and it's not bad either And you're going to be Feeling a lot more comfortable resilience wise if you do that and you can you can leave this on a lot of the time You know, you can leave this on if you want. The other one is not that good So yeah, I you know, I've changed my mind you go for the legs chest Then you go for the offhand wand and then you go for the glove shoulders Um Or you go for the weapon and then glove shoulders depending on how much points you're getting Because the weapon is a nice upgrade Did I do merciless night? Yeah, the weapon is a nice upgrade from the lights justice 80 extra healing It's uh, it's hefty so For three point three point one k points. It's going to be a few weeks to get that So if you want to get faster upgrades, you can do the shoulders and gloves first I would say maybe do the weapon if it was me. I think I'll do I'll do offhand one then weapon Um, I think I've rambled way too long. I'm really sorry This should have been way more structured But I hope you get the idea. I hope it makes sense It's it's not that complicated if you've got any other Suggestions check them in the description. Happy to hear them Um, always always interested to talk about the these sort of theory crafting things. I will put the uh The 70 upgrades link in the description as well Have a good christmas Am I releasing some christmas? I don't know we'll see That's it. That's it. That's the video


I'm gonna go back to that FB, how do you say his name again? FYBJ man. FYBJ man, this OOPS cereal, is it? It's called Woops. Where can you get them at? You have to buy them online, they're $100 a box. Y'all, man, you know, it did. And people buy them. Yes. Yeah, we on Boss Talk 101. 101. Yeah, we gon' talk. He came out, and then he went right back in. And he was 30 days, not even 30 days. And now he mad at his family, cause they didn't go to. He mad at L, and it's a court day. Niggas man. Niggas think the world will revolve around them, bro.  But you would think that people, especially if you think of prison. Like I told y'all earlier, life go on, man. People got bills, people gotta eat, the world getting crazier, more dangerous. I'm not about to go to keep going to this niggas, man. I signed the artist, and I told him, there was this one Dallas artist I signed. He was nice. And I met him at the, I met him in juvenile when I went to go talk to him with Traboy. I met him. Super nice. Super dope. I signed him. I told him and his mom. I looked him in the eye. As I said, if you go back to jail, I'm not bailing you out. I said, I'm not bailing you out. He went back to jail, I bailed him out. He went back again. I'm not bailing you out this time, bro. Why do you think they can't learn their lesson? Ego, pride, anger, disappointment, like they, they disappointed in themselves. They hate, they mad at their position. Counseling. Counseling. They, the, the household. I ain't, and just to my point where Honeycomb, nah, bro. Like, it's a plan.  Nope. You think he's done? It's too easy to trick him off the street.   He gonna crash out. It's easy. These niggas make it easy, bro. Wow. It's, it's easy. It's easy to get these niggas out, out the way. It's easy. It's super easy. You can say any words, get to all these people. Wow. Word get to everybody. You just said you don't read the comments. That's why I don't. That's why I don't. Words get to me. We're human. You know what I'm saying?  Like who you? I'm not the toughest guy in the world, obviously. But who are you? He had a verse saying, you gotta catch you in person and I'll break your fingers. Something? When the D were hard on that verse, that was on one that, that uh, he was talking about quitting the South Verse. Yeah.  I only seen him through you. Mm hmm. Like, did you, when you first started dealing with him, did you know he was gonna like that? No.  Because he kept this in King Von. And like I told y'all, I don't really like that.  But as I like got to know him, he kind of like found itself and he caught a niche with his, it hit different and the phrases and the cereal whoops. Yeah. He just gave my whole basketball team whoops. So I've seen your basketball team. I was going to ask you about that. Top 10 in the nation. I've seen him with the cheese on the shorts, man. Yeah. Congratulations, man. Different stuff like that. Like doing, you know, I hardly put that on my page and stuff like that. But I do a lot. I try to do a lot for the community. As you should. Like cause you got. I go downtown, feed the homeless.  That's that's it. Never, we never put it on a, on Instagram, like, cause that's not what it's for. And it feels good too. Just to see they smile and they're so grateful. You know what I'm saying?  Who don't even say thank you. Man. Yeah. Have you ever seen a homeless person like that? Cause when you give it to him, do you ever stand up and like hear their story and talk to them? I need to do better with that. Because. We treat, we treat homeless people like, like they dogs. Like have you ever been at a rail on a bad day? You've been at a red light and you just didn't even want to look at them. You just look straight. Cause you didn't want to make eye contact. Right. It's like, damn, like everybody do that. Everybody don't want to. And then, and then they start to feel invisible and they start to feel worthless. So that's right. You're right about that. Yeah. Cause I would love to hear some, cause some of these people. Would I be wrong to go downtown and interview and do interviews? No, you wouldn't be. That would be some dope interviews. Cause they do that in Philly and Kingston where the, the, the, the people be shooting the heroin and they be hearing their story. They be paying them. Is that, is that bad to do? No. I don't, I don't feel that way. I don't know. But I wouldn't pay them, but I wouldn't pay them. When I say I wouldn't pay them. Yeah. Cause they go buy more drugs. Exactly. I'm the type of person that I'd be like, okay, what do you need? You hungry?  Do you, um, this, this food place right here. Do I need to pay it for a month worth of food?  You see what I mean? I'm going to get with somebody in the city and we, what we're going to do, we're going to get, we're going to get a few homeless people and we're going to, we're going to get a, we're going to get their hotel for, for, for a month or like a week. Wow. That's dope. Wow. You see what I mean? That's, that just touched me. Yeah. Cause I feed them and I don't talk to them. Yeah. Damn. And they regular people. Because I've met, we met, I remember the time when we met this lady at Yoke and she works in there. She said, she was telling us her story cause we talked to everybody and she was saying she was homeless at once because her husband who was rich whatever ended up putting her on drugs and because he wanted her out of the way. So put her on drugs and she ended up being homeless under the bridge or whatever. And she only had one Bible that she would always read and that's, that's what helped her get clean and get out of it. But just to hear her story and the things that she went through and where she was, she was up here. You understand what I mean? And to know that you can be up here and ended up under the bridge. You understand what I mean? Yeah. My girl, she keeps in touch with this homeless lady and when the homeless lady needs like, she needed a bigger suitcase to store her stuff in and my girl went and gave it to her. But when you ask me that it's like, damn, I really don't be talking to him.  I think you just, you got to go with the spirit to move a guy. Yeah. Like, what do you think? Like the L, I'm going to go back to that FB, how do you say his name again? F-Y-B-J-Man. F-Y-B-J-Man. This OOPS cereal. It's called Wooks. Where can you get them at? Oh, you have to buy them online. They're a hundred dollars a box. Y'all, man, you know. And people buy them. Yes. Was you there when he came up with that? I wasn't there. No, I wasn't there, but. It's like you almost introduced me to him.  Like, so he blew up quick. Like, like, like, I was trying to figure that out. I'm like, these platforms, you really can take somebody and let them. Yeah. And the same thing with anybody. Like, if you can believe, like, you know, how Vlad has Boosie. Correct. And all them different people. And if it's somebody in your bond well and the numbers go up. Yeah. Put them under contract or, you know, look out for them.  That's hard. Yeah. I just see him moving. He was homeless too. But he, yeah. But this is public though. He went online and he was homeless, homeless.  He was at a U-Haul. He was about to move. He had his last money. I picked him up and I said, here, bro, I gave him a good amount of money. I said, bro, this is for two interviews, but you better not run off on me.  I said, this is for interview the next time next month. And so that money got him to where him and his family. Wow. Yeah. Then he ended up with Cardi B or something. Yeah. Yeah. This nigga was moving. I said, this boy here. I said, he's moving. And he, and like I said, you only going to see more people like that. Like how do you know who to pick? Bro, like she just said, like y'all just said, when I, when I picked him up at the U-Haul spot is just when he got in the car, it was good energy. It was his, it was good. Like just good energy. And I was just telling to my, I was just telling myself, I'ma, I'ma help this kid, man. I'ma help this dude. And then I just, I handed him the money. He was like, bro. And ever since then we've been locked in. Wow. Now he interviewing people. I see him. I see him. I see him. I see him. Then he do one with Ray. I know you and Ray and him did one together. Then they do one by themselves. Nah, me and Ray did. Oh, they did. They did. He interviewed Ray. Yeah. I remember that. Me and him and Ray interviewed him at $600,000. I think something, $700,000. Wow. I gotta get him in here one day. I'll be cool. He has a real story. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like outside the funny shit, he has a real story. No, he's, I hear good things about him. I hear that off camera he's real like, he not even like all the way like that, but he's real like a respectable dude from what I hear. I just go by what people tell me. He's a real good dude. Yeah.


Good morning all, the paper which I am going to present is a novel formula to calculate liver volume using CT parameters. As we know, determining the liver volume is an important step in all the liver transplantation surgeries. Historically, many formulae are in use to calculate the liver volume by using various anthropometric parameters. Certain recent formulas are also based on CT parameters also. It is essential in this era of increasing liver transplantations, especially living-dronal transplantations, to accurately calculate the standard liver volume of the recipient, where I had already lost the major portion of liver, as well as to calculate to know the functional liver reserve of the donor to avoid major post-procedural complications, especially small liver volume syndrome. The underlying liver disease can alter the anthropometric parameters of the individual, so there is need for a formula using other measurable CT parameters to calculate the standard liver volume of the individual. It is also important to have a different formula at different geographic areas to calculate the liver volume pertaining to that specific population. Here in this study, we had used manual CT volumetry to calculate the liver volume. Three CT parameters, namely the thoracoabdominal circumference, abdominal depth and abdominal width were calculated. And we had tried to derive at a formula to predict the standard liver volume using these parameters and taking this manual CT volumetry as the standard. Moving on to materials and methods, those individuals who had undergone CT in the department of radio diagnosis case a day who had no hepatobiliary complaints were included in the study. The sample size calculated was 113. The CT acquisitions were then using GE Revolution 128 slice machine and post-contrast hepatic venous phase images were used to calculate the liver volumetry. So only hepatic venous phase images were used so that the liver margins can be clearly delineated. The cases which were found to have fatty liver or any other liver pathology or anything that can alter the liver morphology were excluded from the study. Manual tracings were done in every 10 mm slice interval using OSIRIC software and areas were derived at these levels. Liver volume was then derived by multiplying the total area derived by the slice interval that is 10. Thoracoabdominal circumference, abdominal width and abdominal depth were calculated for all the cases and the values were expressed in millimeters. The correlation of these parameters with the liver volume was then studied. The formulae to calculate the liver volume using these CT variables were derived by using regression models. This is the representative image in hepatic venous phase to show how liver volumetry was done. Here we can see at definite 10 mm slice intervals the liver outline were contoured and traced in OSIRIC software and the area at each interval each slice were calculated. While calculating it was done in a great anatomical precision so that the extra hepatic portal veins were excluded, the intra hepatic portal branches were included, goldbladder as you can see is excluded from the tracings, also IVC was excluded from the tracings. Getting the areas at all the slice intervals, the total was derived and volume was calculated by multiplying by 10 in cm cube. This is how Thoracoabdominal circumference was calculated in millimeters by tracing the inner margins of the ribs as well as the vertebra at the level of hepatic venous confluence. Here we should note that hepatic venous confluence slice was taken as the standard slice to calculate Thoracoabdominal circumference, abdominal depth and abdominal width. Abdominal depth was calculated by a perpendicular line from the anterior margin of vertebra to the skin surface and abdominal width was calculated by drawing skin to skin line which was perpendicular to the previous line which was used to calculate abdominal depth and at the midway of that line. Note that the section is seen for that of Thoracoabdominal circumference. The data was analyzed by using SPSS software and Spearman's correlation was done to see the correlation between these CT parameters with the liver volume. Now coming on to the results, we can see that this is how our liver volume was distributed and the mean liver volume derived from our study was 1237 plus or minus 278 cm cube and it was ranging from 742 to 2126 cm cube. Spearman's correlation of CT parameters was done with the liver volume. Here we can see that the correlation all these three CT parameters had a strong positive correlation with the liver volume and among that with the significant p-value and among that abdominal width had the maximum correlation with the liver value with the correlation coefficient of 0.569. This is the scatter plot to show how the three parameters had a correlation with total liver volume and you have to note here that all the three parameters were calculated in millimeter. Now we had used a stepwise analysis to get a parsimonious model to calculate the predictable liver volume equation to derive at an equation. Here we can see all the constants were put and dependent variable was the total liver volume. The formula which we could derive to calculate liver volume was minus 948.304 plus 0.462 into thoracic abdominal circumference in millimeter minus 0.470 into abdominal depth in millimeter plus 7.106 into abdominal width in millimeter. So it is important to calculate the liver volume prior to the transplant surgery to avoid major post-procedural complications like small liver volume syndrome. The currently used formula are mainly based on anthropometric parameters of the person. A patient who is having a chronic liver disease will definitely have altered anthropometric parameters and manual tracing of liver is a cumbersome process in a recipient. Automated liver volumetry can also overestimate or underestimate the liver volume. So it is easy to calculate the standard liver volume using our formula where the liver morphology is deranged. These are the previously used formula and we can see that it is basically based on anthropometric parameters except the show et al. Show et al had used thoracic abdominal circumference but it is not very much standardized. In our study we had standardized the thoracic abdominal circumference. So to conclude this is the liver volume which is derived and this formula is already recognized for all the radiologists to calculate the standard liver volume. These are my references. Thank you.
