Okay, so this morning, my colleague Paolo used something called Menti. It's a way to interact with what's happening. So if you want to sign on, go to menti.com with code 786609. And let me just check the Wi-Fi is working, so refresh is occurring. Good sign. Okay, so menti.com, code 786609, and I'll bring it up later. Okay, well, first of all, I'm delighted to be back here at WordCamp Europe, because really in all the WordCamps I've been to, it's got to be my favorite, because it has such diversity of thinking. And I've told everyone, you got to go to WordCamp Europe, because it's so different. Also in the US, I went to WordCamp Miami, which is another amazing experience. I consider an amazing experience something where different kinds of people come together. Because on different kinds of people come together, things get really interesting. Like Paolo shared this morning about how when he joined automatic, he was one of the key Europeans. And he's someone who keyed me off to asking the question, how do I make sure there's time zone inclusivity? So the more kinds of people you have, the more kinds of constraints you have, but here's the problem. The problem is it's a problem. You know what I mean? It's like, ah, it's kind of like an extra friction. Like I have to do things differently. And we tend to not like to do things that are different. Why is that, you think? Because it's change. It's extra work. So we always don't want to do extra work. And what happens when you don't push yourself to the limit? You don't grow. So I'd like to point out that anytime we bring in different kinds of thinking, we produce new kinds of knowledge, but it is our tendency to not want to, because it takes extra effort, okay? So, and I like to not like show full screen because I like to control, I'm in a little control freak, so pardon me, but I want to give you some updates on design. So the first thing is for those of you who have a relationship to design, design usually looks like this. Do you know these jeans with holes in them? Who has children?  All right. All right. Do your children like this kind of jeans? Yes. Why? Right? You're like, why? It's broken. You know, usually you wait for it to get broken, but you're going to pay for it to be broken. Okay. That is a kind of design. Like why is this kind of jeans more expensive than not broken jeans? Right? It doesn't make any sense. It's because it's connecting to a common fashion trend. The fashion trend determines what is acceptable and fashion keeps changing. So if you want to think about fashion, there's a great fashion designer named Ray Kawakubo, who has a brand called Komdegar Song. And this was a show she had in New York recently. And if you look at this, you're like, who's going to wear that? All right. Maybe some of you will wear it. It's okay. It's very expensive, but it's like, who's going to wear that? It's because design tries to push the envelope of what is acceptable. And sometimes you find new things. And that's why things like Gutenberg are so important, because they test the limits of what we think is okay. But without stretching, there is no change. Some of you may know about the Gutenberg logo that was designed by Christelle Rossignol, who's on the design team that I get to lead at Automatic. And her first versions were very simple, and I asked for something amazing. And so she produced this, which everyone said, but that's not a logo. But that's the point. Everyone is using it. Everyone can feel it. It feels different. Design pushes you to think differently. You may know if you have, this is my favorite shirt. If you go over here on the back, there is a Wapu smiling. We all know Wapu. Who loves Wapu? Raise your hand. Wapu, come on. All right, there we go. See that? Now someone said, why did you take Wapu's face off? I wasn't trying to be mean. Do you know the Cheshire cat, the cat that goes invisible and just kind of smiles? So it's a kind of a cultural reference to that kind of Alice in Wonderland feeling of Wapu. Some of you may know the WordPress.org shirt. It's wrong. It isn't this way. Why is it this way? Well, when it's this way, it forces you to be interactive. Someone who comes up to you says, what does that say? And they're trying to think harder so design can do that. I know also when I pushed out a different design for hats this year, there was some anger from people. Not sure if you know that there's people online. Do you know there's people who get angry online? Do you know this? Do you know that people react to things? You know this, right? You can feel it. So what I did is I asked to take Wapu and make the Wapu silhouette.  But in reality, if you talk to the creator of the Wapu character in Japan, she's so happy because Wapu is being reinterpreted. So note that reinterpretation, like the seasons, when things change, you have life. But if everything is not changing, that is what we call death. So you will see things changing because I'm trying to find a way to connect this amazing community to more groups because the larger the community, the more diverse the community, as this group understands really well, it's what makes it strong and it makes it interesting. Now, also this person is joining me. Her name is Alexis Lloyd. She led the research and development team at the New York Times. And so she was at the cutting edge of anything involving voice technologies, anything involving Internet of Things. And she's just joined me and I want to invite you all to invite her to the WordCamp universe because she wants to know what she can do to bring her skill set, which is a very interesting skill set to help to grow this amazing community. Also, this is still under construction, so I like to show things ahead of time. I think Matt said that's a good idea so no one gets surprised. I asked Matt about this about a month ago, maybe two months ago. I wonder why there is no design award. You know how there's like this, like an Apple design award for well-designed apps and things like that? And so what I'm going to try to do by the end of this year is to launch an automatic design award that is able to point out great user experience in the plug-in ecosystem, in the theme ecosystem, and to point out different groups that are trying to push experience. Why does this matter? Why does experience matter? It's because so many people can now use things like, have you heard of something called Instagram? Maybe here on Instagram? And things like that that have a very high experience bar because so much more money has been invested in them and we see it all the time and we know what good looks like. So I will be trying and go ahead and send me things, lob me your feelings about this, but I'm going to try to gather as many great examples of user experience in the WordPress ecosystem to help us all ask questions about why is this good? Because that's going to be where the design is going to change. Now the problem with design, as I have diagnosed it, and not just the WordPress world, but in the technology world in general, is that most design is shallow design. What shallow design means is you'll be an engineer, developer, you've got an idea. You're going to make it, it doesn't really work. You're going to keep fixing it, it doesn't really work and you're really making it, making it, making it. Oh my gosh, it's still crashing and crashing and crashing and like, kind of works. Can I make it work? Finally works. And by this time, you're too tired to make it usable. Anyone know this?  It happens all the time when I'm a software developer by training. When I switch into developer mode, I am too tired to make it feel good. I know what that's like, you get tired. So inevitably what happens in most cases is you make the technology work and you're too tired to improve the design. So what do you do? You either don't design it or you spray design on. Do you know what spraying design means? It means trying really hard to make it look not bad. You'll go to awesome font, awesome. You'll put icons all over it. You'll make it different colors. You'll spray it again and you hope it smells good. But who cooks in here? Who is anyway? Any cooks? This is Europe. Come on, right? Some cooks. Every chef knows that you cannot make good food unless you choose the right ingredients and you choose the right tools and you know how to present it. It's understood the whole chef world because making food, cooking is generally easier than writing code, right? It's just different. So shallow design is designed sprayed at the end. Deep design is something different and deep design as we've been trying to articulate it recently is not like a epiphany or rocket science. It's four things. It's finding the problem, discovering, finding the problem. It's then trying to figure out how to address that problem. You have to have a hypothesis and then you're going to ship it finally. Ah, I finally finished it. I did it. And then after you shipped it, you kind of have to go and see what happened. You have to listen and look, right? So who has shipped something before? Raise your hand. Okay. Who has enjoyed seeing what happens when you ship it? Like, oh, no one's right. No one, like very few people raise their head because it's baneful. It's baneful to see what happens, right? So four things, discover, hypothesize, deliver and listen. The problem is that generally speaking, when we make software, we love shipping. We love delivering. Ah, doesn't it feel so good? Pull request done, someone improves it. I see someone smiling. Ah, I did it, right? No one gives you points for thinking of the problem. No one gives you points for finding the analysis. Everyone gives you points when you ship. No one gives you points if you go and listen to see what happened. All the glory is on planet shipping, right? So that's the problem is you stay on planet shipping, deliver and you spray on the design and you hope it'll work. This is a classical development cycle that used to be okay because in a time in the world where nobody made software, it was easy because there was no good things out there. There was nothing to compare against. So if the technology worked, wow, and it's also got a two buttons on it. Fantastic. It was a happy time. Who remembers the happy time where you didn't have to design anything at all? Raise your hand. Come on. Remember that? Thank you. You would just ship it. It's like are you happy, right? I gave it to you. It works and you might drop, right? It was a happy time, but it's in the time anymore. So for that reason, it's important in deep design to spend time working on listening to what has happened and to spend time going to real people, real customers and discovering their problem. It seems very obvious, but because we love to ship, we forget who it's for. We don't discover the problem and we don't listen to what's happening because we're too tired when we deliver. Now, another thing that is really hard is to develop a hypothesis. I think I told you this last time, but for most of my life, I was a developer, software type person, consultant, whatever, and people would always tell me, John, you're creative. So don't worry about the money. We'll worry about the money. You just create. And so the first time someone told me that, oh, thank you. I'm just going to go back and create, right? But by the fifth time someone told me this, I thought I should be worried because shouldn't I worry about the money? And so I got my MBA as a hobby to understand money and understand how things work in that world. And the thing I learned is how important it is to factor in business market thinking when you make something. Because, well, often when we make something, we make it because we believe it, but we don't know if anyone needs it or anyone will pay for it. And so another part missing in this kind of deep design, this needed, is strong understanding of business principles. So this kind of design, deep design is very hard. And you might ask, who is good at deep design? One of the best companies in the world is Apple. So how many of you own an Apple laptop? Raise your hand. Okay. So remember, if I asked that 10 years ago, nobody raised their hand. I got my ThinkPad. Don't take my ThinkPad. You know, Mac is the MacBooks everywhere. One of the genius ideas of the MacBook is what's called a unibody. If you look closely at the Macintosh, the MacBook, there's no seams. There's no screws. It's very little. You can see very little seams because it's carved out of one piece of aluminum. Also, because it's aluminum, it has a problem. Aluminum is not porous. So when they had to make a microphone to go inside a MacBook, they had to poke holes. It is not easy to drill holes in aluminum. So what Apple did is Apple secured the largest control of number one, aluminum in Australia. Number two, they controlled all these special laser machines that could cut appropriate holes to make the microphone thing. If you look closely, it's little dots. And also, they nailed down all the CNC milling machines that could mill the aluminum. So it was very smart business thinking to enable them to first of all control the design being created and also to reduce cost. And also, it prevented every other computer company from easily making an aluminum laptop for a long time. So if you remember, there were not many aluminum laptops. Recently, there are more. But when it came out, completely controlled. That is deep design. Another example that you all know in Europe, in America, it's not as known. How many of you have seen this chair? Raise your hand. Come on. Oh, yeah. We've all seen this chair. This chair is one of the most amazing chairs in the history of design. Why is that? It's because it's called Thonet. It's not Thonet. It's Thonet. It's a Thonet number 14 chair. Over 50 million sold since the mid 1800s. A key factor in why the Thonet chair succeeded is because in the mid 1800s, the ability to bend wood was difficult. And so the Thonet company patented the way to bend birch wood. And they also designed the chair to be put together, to be assembled. So you could put 36 Thonet chairs in a one meter cube box. Now think of the late 1800s. There was no FedEx, right? If you want to ship 36 chairs, it was going to be a gigantic thing, right? But imagine the only supplier of a chair that was assembled, 36 in one meter cube, beautiful chair.  It gets more comfortable over time. It also stacks and hugely profitable for Thonet. Now I think of WordPress, not as a business case, but an example of this same kind of radical thinking that enabled a simple software project to be owned by the entire community and adopted over the entire world. That is one of the great design outcomes of our century. Now, however, that may seem like blah, blah, blah. So I wanted to ask Sonia over there, Sonia, and my friend Hajj, can you come on up to the stage here? Okay. Now I wanted to make this work by my camera, but this isn't working. Apple TV doesn't work. So I was going to have a camera that the Wi-Fi isn't working. Thank you for joining me on stage here. Okay. So I have an experiment. Okay. Let's see. Let me give this to you. Okay. This is still Hajj over here. Okay. So first of all, applause for the people coming on up. Thank you. Okay. So in Hajj's hand, if you can hold your palm, there we go. And Hajj's hand, he has something called, he has a tea forte, tea bag in Sonia's hand. There we go. She has a get my shot green tea from Yamamoto. Okay. So first of all, Sonia, I want you to open the tea bag and pull the tea out. All right. So come over here. So how did that feel? It was a little hard because it was stuck to the top, but otherwise pretty usual. Crisp, clean. Yes. Yeah. Okay. Crispy clean. Nothing out of the ordinary. No, it worked. Yes. Functional. Thank you, son. Everyone. Thanks, Sonia. All right. Okay. Thank you. Indeed, this is a tea bag. Surprise. Tea is in the tea bag. Okay. Now let's go over to Hajj here. Hajj, you have a tea forte bag. Okay. So pull the tea out. And what Hajj is doing is Hajj is unfolding the tea bag. He just broke it, but that's okay. It's okay. Again, example of design problem. But when you open it up, what happens is it has gold foil inside. And so it has a kind of reveal. It has a reveal moment of like, whoa, expensive tea. And it has this moment of either someone breaks it, true, or someone sees it as a strange thing in there. And what happens is this tea infuser is designed to stand on its own. And why is that important? I'll show you in a second. It's important because the tea can, first of all, sit over the edge. And also it sits flat in the tea cup. So it's easy to be removed as well. So it's kind of a full system idea. And so it's the same tea, right? But the experience is different.  What was the tea experience like? It was a very smooth experience. No, it wasn't. I mean, it wasn't interesting because when I opened it up and I saw the gold, just the perceived value of it just seemed just a little bit different. So next time I'll probably be a little more careful when I'm... That's all right. Okay. You can have the tea. You can have the tea too. You can trade too. Thank you. Thank you. Okay. So the tea bag that Hajj opened was much harder to design. There were probably failures like that. Hajj is pretty strong. But probably the people they tested it with was a little... Dainty people like me. But it's an example of an entire system of tea that was created to create an entire experience around what is just tea. Now, why is it important? It's important because it's an analogy for the world we live in today. So today, everyone can get software for either free open source or free I'll spy on you, right? And the old days, you had to pay for all your software. But now you can get access to any kind of software that does anything. And so in essence, it's like tea. So the way to increase the value of that core service is through having an experience. And the experience is something that is intangible, but it's desirable. Who has an iPhone X in this audience? iPhone X, right? You paid a lot of money for it. It's because you wanted that extra experience. Now you would say that's bad. You could say like, well, that's terrible because iPhone X costs at least United States over $1,000. So it's elitist. It's a bad thing. But in reality, once design is defined at the high end, it changes everything else. So everyone copies what is better. So the iPhone X, different parts of it will be copied. And the ones that are affordable will exist because of the design. Now, okay, so I want to go to over here. Can you go to menti.com? And those of you who are here, menti.com, 786609. Okay, let's see here. Okay. Okay. All right. Thank you for coming. Wow, 55 people already. Very fast here in Europe. Okay, lots of hearts. Okay, so first word question. When you think of the word design, what word comes to mind? When you think of design, what do you think of? Solution, aesthetic, form, art, money, product, experience, beauty, fancy, planning. It's all these things. And I want to note that all the words will be different because design is about something you feel. Something you feel is something very hard to say or put into words. Who's been to the doctor recently and you're still okay? Who's been to the doctor recently and like it was already, there we go. You went to the doctor. The doctor, what is your name? The doctor asked you like, hey, Luca, how are you feeling? And it's hard to explain how it feels. It's like, I don't feel good or it's over here, but I don't know where and so anything involving feeling is hard to express as words. So design is a feeling word and that's what it has so many definitions and often art lives at the center, which is the worst thing possible. Do you know why? It's because art is something that is designed so nobody can understand. That means good art. If you go to an art gallery and you're like, I don't really understand what happened. That's good art because art is about the enigma. So design at the core as a word, it's very hard to understand. But just remember it's all about feeling and it's a lot about function too. I see other word security as well. So it covers so much and that's why it's a powerful word when you use the full range. If you use in the word design, just the part that's about polish, I often hear like, can you polish this? People think design is about polishing it, making it shinier. If you use just that bit of design, it doesn't use the entire diversity of the word design. Okay. Do you like Serbia? This one, I'm pulling, I'm taking a shortcut from Paolo because you already did what I was going to do. So I just screen capped Paolo's work. I learned that most people here are from Serbia, hello, but people are from different places as well. Wow. See, that's similar, similar. Someone's from the country of yes. That's a good one. That's very positive. Yes, person, I like you. Okay. Nettle in strong, strong. Okay. Whoa, my gosh, there's so many people in this room. Yeah. Oh my gosh. I think it represented Ecuador. Okay. Okay. Someone's from the country strong, yes. Very good. Okay. Now, and also Paolo already did this, what is your native language? And I asked a similar question. He asked, which languages do you speak? I asked, what is your native language? And you'll see why I'm asking you this in a second. But for some people, English is a native language. Some people, I met Stewart who had an amazing spelling of a Stewart. And I was like, wow, that is so cool. So again, all these discoveries when you leave what you do, what you know all the time. Okay. So definitely English, but there's all kinds of languages that are native in here. And you can be native in something, and you can be really good at speaking the other language too. I understand that fully. Okay. But last year when I was here at WordCamp, I was so moved by a talk, I can't remember who gave it, but how difficult it is to speak in English if it isn't your native tongue. It was a really great talk to kind of make me think about how it makes you feel. And you can see this, you think it should feel like easy, easy, easy, but there it is. It's scary. It's stressful. Someone says sexy, self-conscious, complicated, shy, not funny, okay, proud, yee-ha, clumsy. There's alcohol too. So I don't know if that's after or before. But it's example of how generally the biggest word you see is scary.  And I thought it was a great analogy for how we all need to think about what is it like when someone feels different. So can you imagine, let's see, the person with the band, what does your shirt say? So what is your language? Dutch. So you speak Dutch. So let's say you took Japanese one, and then you were sent on a business trip to speak in Japanese for the first time in front of 500 people. Might you feel scary a little bit? Maybe not. A little. A little. So I want to point out that doing something different feels hard. Okay, generally speaking. Okay. So when you think about how you feel different, have you ever felt different than other people around you in a professional setting? Have you ever felt different? You can feel different in many ways. You may think like, no, I've never felt different. I'm always with the people I'm most comfortable with. So I see there's a small group that hasn't felt that way, but it's a large group that has felt different because we can all feel different. And you can imagine for the 138 people down here, 140 growing, all of them, when they're in that situation, it feels a bit scary. It feels difficult. And the reason why I want to bring it up is this thing. I've been involved in the technology industry for a long time, since like the 80s. Think 10 minutes, you're good. So if you are someone who uses the pronouns he, him, how often do you find yourself in a business meeting where the majority likely identifies as he, him? So let's see this. So it looks like over a half it happens often for roughly 15%. It's always for a small group, it's never. But roughly it's occasionally it happens a lot. Okay, thank you for that data. It's really important. So what that says is people who identify with he, him, see that there's a lot of he, him around them. So if you use the pronouns they, them, in this case, for those identified with they, them, how do you feel when you're in situations where the majority is he, him in a technology business setting? How often does it happen? And again, in this case, it happens often. It happens often. And why does it happen often? It's because the technology industry had an accident in the 70s, where it defined itself as a tool utility device, primarily for the he, him category. And it shut out other categories in doing so. And in doing so what happened is it created kind of imbalance because one thing I've noticed is if you use the pronouns she, her, how often do you find yourself in meetings where the majority is likely he, him? What I've found is generally speaking, it makes it very difficult, awkward, hard to understand, but easy to understand if you remember that thing, where if you're talking with people who are different than yourself, it, it recreates a kind of extra pressure on you. And if that pressure is in this case, 80% of the time, it makes it harder. And so why do I bring this up? I bring it up because it's a case where inclusive design becomes so powerful. Because who, who is a boss of more than 10 people? Raise your hand. Well, some other 10 people, right? So if you had like 10 people, and let's say we use the UN statistics of roughly half men, half women, in this case, use that gender for a second, you want to use the entire team. But if you don't use the entire team, you're not getting the highest value from your team. And when you think about the way these things are set up today, it's hard to get the value from those who feel the most different. You can apply this to English speaking companies as well. Anything you want to apply it to, it's a really powerful thing to consider. And in doing so, you will end up making better products because you're making them for more people. Okay, I'm going to go back here now. So there's another kind of situation happening right now, which you all do not feel because you're in the population that is highly computer skilled. The statistics are fascinating that you are probably in the less than 5% of the world that understands computers at the level that you do. That means there's a 95% of the world that doesn't understand these things that we take for granted. And so I point this out because every time we can think of who feels uncomfortable and think of how do we involve them, engage them, we're able to actually bring in more people to a design that's more relevant to everyone. Okay, now why is it important? I didn't mean to bring up AI to scare you. But if you look at the potential of recent machine intelligence advances, it is quite extraordinary. In the 1980s, when I was at MIT, I was an undergraduate and I would hang out at the MIT Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, AI. So I've been in this AI world for a long time. But I got to tell you, in the last four years, it has changed dramatically. So everything that we ever thought was impossible just six years ago is becoming possible. In the year 2013-2012, speech recognition rates went from one in four errors, 25% to under 8%. It changed from 25%. It held for so long error rates. It went under 8%. Just in one year. So this thing is happening now. And what's happened because of it, most jobs, as we know it, involved in the cognitive world, are going to change. And when we think about why it's changing, it's changing because the large systems out there, cloud-based systems, can use data to get patterns because they're statistically meaningful now. And there was research by Princeton University. I'm sure some of you have heard of Google Translate. Google Translate, the researchers pointed out that when you go to Google Translate and you translate from Turkish to English, he is a doctor. She is a nurse. It translates to he is a doctor. He is a nurse. It translates into he is a doctor. She is a nurse. So it uses biased data to form assumptions. And that's an issue. And why do I think it's irrelevant to this entire community? Because this community is so human. I've been to so many word camps. There are so many people out there. We're like, this is something where humanity and technology are coming together. And I just want to invite you to all think of how we're going to stay ahead of that. And it's about activating vision, being open to change, finding new practices, bringing new people into this amazing ecosystem. And again, I hope you welcome Alexis when she starts coming into this world to experience what I have, which is something extraordinary. And I really want to thank Paolo for pulling me into this a while ago and discovering it with you. So that's it. Thank you. And I'll answer questions online on a blog post. Thank you. All done.


So, I get the task to talk about psychometristology and what should we do, and first I mean something that has been discussed before it has been in the room of the non-clear histology talk is how do we classify psychometristiole, and actually it is not a specific entity, what it really shows you is de-differentiation over time and it has a highly medical behavior and that is what is written in the WHO criteria basically. And how is it being perceived in the different guidelines, so in EAU they do address this, so say it's not a distinct entity and it has a poor prognosis and has poor response to systemic therapy and it has not been really classified. And this is the case of my patients, we treated a couple of years ago, so this is somebody who presented with a CNS lesion, two lung lesions and a renal mass and you kind of question what do you do, but this is symptomatic CNS metastasis, so we took it out actually and what it showed was clear cell histology and then we could discuss what do you do next, do you do surgery, do you do medical treatment, we took out the kidney basically and here it is, I mean it's a comatoid. So it kind of shows you that whatever you see in these tumors it is heterogeneous and because they are areas of de-differentiation and these are the drivers I would say for the clinical behavior, for aggressiveness basically. So we put her in a nice response but again you see there is a distinct response, so here a large lesion beside the heart, it went basically into CR and this one up here did not really change, so we took it out and what it showed it was psychomotor tissue basically, so we did watch and wait, recurrence, again surgery, it has predominant psychomotor tissue in here. So it really you know we had gone back and forward between surgery, TKI treatment or chemotherapy in this patient and basically was guided by histology because sometimes there has been predominant psychomotor tissue and sometimes there has been clear cell RCC. So it really kind of I think reflects the problems that we have because if you look in histology this is the psychomotor tissue and this is the clear cell part basically. So question will be you know what is really relevant here for the prognosis of these patients and there's some data looking into the psychomotor content, looking at there's a difference if it's present or not, so looking for progression for survival, it's about six versus 16 months and in this work they said you know once you have psychomotor tissue which is beyond the 20% range you will have a poor outcome. But it's not so clear cut so if you look for a different analysis it will give you a little bit distinct flavor. Here again different therapies but it's dominated by synidinib basically and the median psychomotor tissue the content has been about 20%. So the readout is here so there's response to synidinib yes the rest of the curve I would say you know it cannot be judged because of the mixed therapies that have been implied here and they looked also into tissue and activity of pathways and something that has been quite striking I think is that in clear cell RCC that have psychomotor tissue you see an upregulation of the mTOR pathway basically and has been shown in these resector tumors whereas if you have psychomotor tissue in the non-clear cell RCC it did not show that but again this is very small numbers but at least it gives you a hint that you know mTOR might play a role here. So Martin Faust then looked into mTOR activity in psychomotor RCC and you've seen part of the data before when Korat talked about the non-clear cell so in psychomotor it's only 23 patients and there's some response to mTOR inhibitors kind of suggesting that it may play a role in this disease but again you know progression free survival 3.5 over survival 8.7 months it's still within the range of other therapies as well. So this is the IMVC data on psychomotor versus non-psychomotor RCC and it really shows it is a rare it's about 10% of the total population it is associated with poor risk those patients have an earlier recurrence rate even though response rate does not differ that much they have a higher fraction of primary refractory tumors and progression free survival and OS is about half of that what you would expect from the other tumors. So in this scenario you kind of question what about chemotherapy because this is an aggressive tumor rapid growth is that something we could target by chemotherapy and well there is a retrospective series it's 28 cases using gencidib and capesidib and bath as a triple combination and they looked into subgroups either with or without psychomotor tissue and will tell you that there is worse outcome with those that have psychomotor tissue but overall the group does not do so well actually but but still there's activity. Gencidib and doxorubicin has been a paradigm for treatment of mesenchymal tumors in RCC so this is a study looking for rapid progressive RCC or those with psychomotor features it's retrospective and used gencidib and doxorubicin and either with or without psychomotoid features it has responses of course I mean relative responses of 30 50% given the low number of patients is not really helpful but it shows you that there's response to chemotherapy which we think is not helpful in the clear cell RCC type usually. So that eventually led to the first line assessment of gem dox in psychomotor RCC and this is the spider blot so you see there's response in some of these patients and some of them don't respond at all of course and there is an overall response rate of 16% to an aggressive combination of chemotherapy and there is in those that have a higher content of psychomotor features there may be a better response but overall progression for survival again 3.5 and overall survival of 8.8 months and the latest news is about gencidibin in combination with synitinib so kind of being the best of both worlds and looking for gencidibin infusion day one day eight and a two-week schedule of synitinib basically. 35 patients and there's response 11 patients responded there is a progression free survival which is 5.3 months which is quite encouraging response rate of 31% and overall survival approaching 11 months. So in conclusion so psychomotor histology is really a poor prognostic feature and it's not bound to a single entity it it may appear in any of those subgroups of RCC and target therapies exert some activity we have seen that but it's inferior to what we we know it may deliver in clear cell carcinoma. Chemotherapy has been shown to be effective and for now I think gencidibin synitinib seems to be the best of both worlds. Thank you.


Welcome back. Our next speaker is Abigail Manning. She is heartfelt, compassionate, and cares deeply about improving the lives of others and helping to stop daily traumas from overtaking a person's life. She is also the proud mother of two Marines. Well, as proud as you can be if you have two Marines. So give her some grace here on the Air Force Base. But I present to you Abigail Manning. Thank you. Good morning. Oh, I love that about the Air Force. I am so happy to be here today because I've been able to listen to so many incredibly great speakers and I've also been able to chat with a lot of you and get to know some of your stories and what interests you and what you're excited about. And what I love is this pursuit of knowledge that you want to learn more and more and more. And that's why I'm so happy about what I get to do because I work with a lot of different branches of the military and as she said, my kids are both Marines. And so I hear a lot about leadership and I hear a lot about language. And what I can do is I can put the pieces together to find the commonalities. What do I see? What do I experience? And what I see throughout all of the different branches for leadership are two main traits. The first one is be your best. Be the best person that you possibly can be, expect the best out of yourself. And as a leader, you're going to be looking around you and seeing how can I pull out the best of that person? How can I help that person see more in themselves than they saw before me? How can we all be better tomorrow than we were yesterday? And the other component is do the right thing. We have that in lots of different languages, right, like respect and integrity, but doing the right thing. I don't know about you guys, but for me the right thing has almost always been the harder thing. It's always been the difficult thing. It's always been get up when I've been knocked down. It's do it when you're tired, when you're struggling. Do it no matter what, no matter who's looking. And when you have those two commonalities in leadership, man, it's amazing what can happen. The commonalities throughout the branch is about language is a little bit more different. Because you guys, I don't know if you realize this, but you don't really speak English. You speak acronym. So you all have your own culture. So what I have found about language, the barrier to really getting to understand people how to bring out their best, is not because of the culture's language. It's because of the individual's language. Because language is about what we think, what we say, and what we do. And when we can align great leadership with great language, then what happens is we're able to talk about behavioral problems in a way that in the same exact conversation that we're addressing the problem, we can also be building people up. So when does language start? It starts when we're little, little babies and we reach out into the world and we say, am I safe? Is someone going to come get me? Does someone care about me? What are my needs? What are my likes? What are my dislikes? And then as we grow, we realize as adults, we want this kind of connection with one another. We want to be with someone else. It's a whole lot more fun when we can do that. And in addition, when we collaborate with other people, we go farther, we're more successful. So I can understand that you're looking at these slides going, OK, she's a mom. What do these have to do with us? So I'm really excited that I was able to get some super secret soldier declassified photos. You ready? You ready? All right. So let's go back to the first point about being individuals. Each of us in this room want to be a unique individual. We want to stand out. We want to be different. So as an individual, when you say, I'm going to be my best, that's what we want. And when you own who you are, and you are your best, and you're striving for your best, you give the permission to everyone around you to be their best too. And when we have strong individuals that come together as these teams of everyone being their best, we have collaboration, we have cooperation, and we get this amazing sense of balance. With that balance, we're able to know that someone has my back. We're able to know that we can move forward. We have a bonding experience, because we've been through some problems together. We know someone has a certain skill set that I don't have, and I can rely on them. And we can drive forward relentlessly. And when we do that, we know that when we come up to an obstacle, we don't get freaked out about it. Because we know as a team, you can see right through obstacles. We can collaborate. We can say, hey, I have an idea. Let's go over. Someone says, let's go under. Someone else says, no, right, left. Let's go through it. But you don't see these obstacles as things that are so unsurmountable. Obstacles become opportunities. Your struggles can become your strengths. And for me, I can tell you, your tragedy can absolutely become your triumphs. So when you put together strong individuals, strong teams, unity, optimism, you're ready for it? You get the land of utopia, where we all live and daily in love, respect, and kindness. All right, so now you're going to say, wait a minute, wait a minute, that's crazy. We don't live there. That's not what happens to us, right? So what is the problem? I'm going to tell you, there is one huge problem. It is that guy. That guy is a problem. You know, you all have one, right? You have someone that you have to work with. And you're like, ugh, no, not him, not her. Don't put me up with that person again. They're slow, they're lazy, you yell about face, and they don't turn around. They can't follow simple commands, right? So as leaders, we need a strategy. Like it's easy, we need to know that it's OK for you to initially have this, what is wrong with you? We have been over this, over, and over, and over. I can't understand.  You don't fit in. You're not smart, right? It's easy to feel that way, kind of human nature. And think about it, we're all running a little bit low on our fuel tanks.  So that's when we as leaders go, OK, you know what? I'm going to step back. I'm going to take my time because what I really want to do is I want to be able to take a step forward and be the best leader I can be. I want to be the best person in pulling them up. And ugh, I'm going to do the right thing. So why is that so hard? Why is it so hard for people? It's because it's called what I call purple threads. Purple threads are your personal beliefs. They're limiting, self-sabotaging, thoughts that we all have. We get them from the time that we're babies to adults. They're those limiting statements of you're not enough, you're not smart enough, you're not good enough, you're not tall enough, you're not good looking enough, no one's going to like you, right?  These purple threads become your personal thoughts, which have become your personal truths, which then become your personal triggers.  And the interesting thing about purple threads is that you see them, they're so vivid to you, it's all you can hear, it's all you can see. But to the outside world, you don't see them. You're not aware of this, right? They look wonderful. So let me give you an example of that.  Your life is so easy. I can't tell you how many times I've heard that one. Your life is so easy. My daughter was just rotated out of HMX-1, so presidential helicopter. My son is an intelligence. They did really good. I'm really proud of them. They're outstanding individuals. I get to travel around the world and see these amazing places.  I work across the military. One of my co-teachers is a former rear admiral. He was a commanding officer at Camp David. I work with two CIA global executives. I mean, it's a pretty cool life that I get to live. Like, I'm really kind of pinched me sometimes, right? But I can tell you, like the person in front of you, the person behind you, the person you respect the most in this world, like everyone in this room, I too have purple threads. From the time I was a little girl, I had to endure childhood abuse by both of my parents. After 10 years of marriage, when my money ran out, so did my husband, leaving me with a five-year-old and a two-year-old to raise until adulthood all by myself. Then many years later, I decided to trust again, and it was in a four-and-a-half-year-long relationship that one night he freaked out and I found myself literally in hand-to-hand combat.  It was a repeated, violent, physical attack on me. It ended because he picked me up and he threw me out the front door into a wall and I landed really, really, really deep down in the pit of PTS. When you're in the pit, when you have your problems, you need a strategy. I looked up from that pit and I saw these amazing kids staring down at me. It was the first time that they saw this strong, independent, I can do it, I can, I try, I will. All the things I taught my kids is the first time they saw me, not able to eat, not able to sleep, not able to go outside, never having my back to anybody. It was scary, it was beyond scary. So I needed a strategy. So that's when I came up with this purple threads idea. So I needed some humor thrown in there. I was like, okay, what is this gonna look like? I had to have artwork, I had to have language behind it. I had to understand it in my head. It had to make sense to me. I had to have some self-awareness. I had to have self-ownership because I took a little vow when I was eight-year-old that the abuse would end with me. And in that dark pit, I felt like I failed. I felt like I was not giving my kids the life that they deserve and that I wanted them to have. And I wanted to do better. So I made up all the stuff because it helped me and it reminded me, oh yeah, that's right, that's right, that's a lie, that's not truth. I am worthy, I am good enough. And the other strategy, I'll be honest with you, you can't do it on your own. And I'm kind of a strong independent chick and I don't really like saying, I'm weak, help, dinosaur arms, get me out of here. But I realized there was no way I was getting out of that pit without help. So I reached out and I asked for help. I don't know how to do this alone. I'm stuck. This is not okay, can't keep going like that. So I had someone throw down a ladder. When I realized that I couldn't climb up that ladder by myself, as strong as I think I am, I couldn't do it. So I went to the crisis center. And you know what they did? They jumped in the pit with me. They went, no! And they said, it's okay, we know the way out. So understanding the language, they knew where I was. They knew how to talk my language. So there's a couple different ways of doing language. The first one is about unity, cohesion. There's everybody's equal. I'll be honest, I have yet to really find this on a routine basis. It comes, it goes, it's here, it's there. But in a real utopian world, that would be wonderful. What I find is the middle one. I know you guys have seen this one. The old knife hand, right? Military knife hand. It's clear, it's calm, it has a direction, it's a purpose. It makes sense. The last one up there is called finger pointing. Finger pointing is the essence of shame, blame, judgment, and isolation.   Any success that you have is a fluke. The world is gonna chew you up and spit you out. You are never gonna make it, and you are not liked here. Meaning in my family. So I don't care your rank, your power, your position. I don't care where you are in your life, as much work as you've done. If you still have purple threads in you, and you have people doing finger pointing language at you, and then you have wave of wave of stress, this is honestly how it makes all of us, even our biggest warriors feel. And why is that? Why do we go back to this state, and we don't even know how we got there, and it happens that fast. It's because the purple threads are consciously and subconsciously woven in. And unless you pull them out, the more finger pointing that you get, the tighter those knots. And what happens is they become marionette strings, and then you go into fight, flight, and freeze. So that guy that you're yelling about face, can't hear you because he's in this state. He's in this moment. And I wish I could say that it kinda ends there, but it doesn't. What happens is it will continue to grow just like any kind of problem. You ignore it, it grows. It gets bigger. It gets into a larger problem. So these types of behaviors then become manipulations, which then move into harassment, which then move into abuse. And the problem is with fight and flight, you either become the person who's doing the abuse, or you become the person who becomes an easier target, like I was, of abuse. Now wouldn't it be great if we could say it ends there? Newsflash, it doesn't. It then spirals, and it goes into what I call the adverse spiral. So the adverse spirals were stress and fear. Again, the small little things, right? That if we're aware of it, we have the life skills. We can recognize them and stop them when they're small. But when we don't, they move down the spiral into unworthiness, and then they go into depression. And no one wants to feel depressed, so just for tonight I'm gonna have a beer. The next night, I can't sleep as well, I'm gonna have two beers. You get into cycles of addiction. Then you go into cycles of abuse, then PTS and suicide. The whole key to the adverse spiral is as you go down, there's so much finger pointing language, shame, blame, judgment, and isolation. And people are like, well, why didn't they just ask, right? Well, the problem is, at that point, you're doing the finger pointing back at you. How could I be so stupid? How did I end up here? How could I have done this? So we need innovation. We just need life skills. We just need people who can talk about this, who are saying, I'm gonna go on the edge. I'm gonna talk about being the best. I'm gonna talk about taking some risks. I'm going to be able to understand this so that we can have a better culture that we can be better individuals. And to me, there is no better way to do it than with tough love, respect, and kindness.   So remember what we think, what we say, what we do? So what we think is not what is wrong with you. What we think is what wrong has been done to you. Then what we do is we move into what we say. And what we say looks a lot like no shame. Hey, dude, we all have purple threads. We all do. No judgment sounds like it's to be expected. Look what you've been through. Look what you've done. Look at all the pressure we're under. It's totally to be expected. Yeah, yeah, but I did this to myself. I was the one who started this. That's okay. That's okay. It's to be expected. So that's shame, blame, judgment. And the last one is isolation. This is where as leaders it's really critical. You build the bridges before you need them.  And you say, you're not alone. I care. I care about you. And trust me, you can come to me and tell me anything. And I honestly care about each and every one of you here. I truly do. I have been the first confession for many people when they didn't have a safe place to go to say, this happened to me. And I welcome you to do that. You can reach out to me. And then you've got to find other bridges. We each need at least three bridges that we can go to. And then the last one is what we do, right? So do you get up early? Do you have their back? Do you say, I'm going to lift that pack. I'm going to carry the weight. Now it's not yours to carry for them, to take off of them. That's theirs. They've got to own their purple threads. And that's when you can say, you know Abigail, that's a purple thread. And I can say, got it. You're right. That's my stuff. And you can have those types of conversations with one another. And someone can look at you and say, that's your purple thread. Because you know each other and you care about each other and you have each other's back. And when we can do that, when we can make these great individuals who are full of their own vibrant, amazing colors. And then we can come together and build those bridges. Not only Air Force, do you fly. But each and every single one of you then can soar. Thank you.


Okay, Randy Barrie once again here with the Plaza de Armas and Nowcast SA. We're kind of going around to election parties and we were here at the Phillip Cortez party and ran across state representatives of Roland Gutierrez, District 118, is that correct? 119. 119, I missed about one number here, that's all. So you actually, you said you had an opponent tonight, do you want to? Yeah, we had a Republican opponent and you know, I think we sent a pretty good positive message tonight. We beat our index, we're at 62%, that's why we're very happy about that. I think that it sends a message to the community that not only do we have, you know, 57% of Democrats out there, we have some good Republican crossover and so, you know, we represent everybody in the community. We represent Democrats and Republicans alike and it's about making sure that working class families get the representation they need, they have somebody up there in Austin fighting for them. So this year you've picked up one more Democrat going up to Austin from the Barrick County delegation with Phillip Cortez. What are some of the challenges you see or some of the issues that you see in the legislature this year? Well, first off tonight is just a big win and we're just very proud of Phillip and we knew he was going to be fine, he's such a hard worker and we knew he'd be doing well. You know, the big challenges are always, you know, right now in this tenor, what's going on in Austin right now, we have to watch out for this Tea Party, you know, more cuts to education, possible voucher plans, you know, for education and so those are the kinds of things that are ultimately so damaging to the state of Texas. We have to go to Austin to make sure, not so much to pass bills, we have to make sure that more bad stuff doesn't happen. If people think that, you know, they shouldn't go out to the poll sites, they shouldn't go out to vote because politicians don't do anything, just look at what the Republican control legislature did to us last session. They cut funding for education by $5.4 billion, they cut Medicaid, the nursing home assistance by billions of dollars. We have a substantial and fundamentally flawed system right now where we have Republicans and Tea Party Republicans saying no to everything, saying being the anti-vote and the fact is we need government in our lives, we need to educate our children, we need to make sure that our seniors have a nursing home to go to. When you start cutting nursing homes, where do they go? Who picks up the tab? So these are the fundamental problems that are happening to us. We're not talking about far left issues, we're talking about issues that matter to our parents, issues that matter to our children. And so when people go to the ballot and think that they might want to go for the vote for the Tea Party, really study and evaluate what those issues are. These people, this party has no understanding of what the common working class family has to deal with in a day to day, in their day to day lives. And so we have some fundamental challenges. It's my hope that Wendy Davis wins the Senate seat up in Dallas. We desperately need that so that we can have at least some semblance of a posture, if you will, in the Senate. If we lose her, they'll have a complete majority and we're in trouble. So let me ask you a little bit on a little bit different item that is regarding the Speaker's Race. I mean, most people don't even consider that, but I know as legislators, tomorrow the first thing that's coming up is what to do about the Speaker's Race. Speaker Strauss understands under a little bit of a pressure, not a little pressure, he's under pressure right now from someone else that's a Tea Party candidate to kind of challenge his position. What's your thoughts regarding the Speaker's Race right now?  And so last session, he shut us down on various issues that were important to us. And he was supportive of Tea Party issues. So you can say that these folks are crazy and you can say that they're so far off to the right that they can't get anything done. But if you go vote Luckstek with them, there's a problem. And so, you know, we'll have to see what Speaker Strauss's actions are in the future. It's my hope to meet with them, sit down with them and see where he wants to lead from. You have to lead from the middle, in my opinion, to get things done in Austin, to get things done in Texas, and to get things in Washington.  We have to, you know, the folks that want to do good things in the middle want to, we all want the same things. We want good schools. We want to provide jobs for the folks in our communities. If we can do that, we'll be able to effectively lead this country in the right path. Fantastic. Well, thank you and appreciate your time here tonight. Thank you.  Thank you so much. Yes, sir. It was a pleasure.


During a meeting Monday, the Pikeville Independent School Board of Education unanimously voted to establish its own police force in response to a law that requires all schools in Kentucky to have a full-time school resource officer. Yeah, so it's a, we've worked on this based on the passage of House Bill 63 and we've worked in conjunction with the city to do what we can to assure that we have a continuous process. It's a great relationship with the city and I said tonight in our board meeting, I believe it's a model relationship that our city is such a support system to us in all areas. And so really when we, when we took a look at this, we had great conversation with their city and what you notice is they're there in the morning to start the day. We have kids who love seeing the officers and that's a plan that continues and then they're there in the afternoons at Dismissal and then any time we've called, they've always been there. To meet the standard of the law, the desires that there be officers on each of our campuses throughout the day. And so this is, this is to fulfill that and to extend upon the great relationship that we already have. Experienced heart specialist and subspecialist collaborating for the benefit of your care. Top 10% national hospital rankings for patient safety and heart attack and heart failure treatment. The technology is skilled to perform extraordinary complex minimally invasive cardiac, electrophysiology, interventional and structural heart surgeries. This is a heart and vascular institute at Pikeville Medical Center. When it comes to your heart, place your care in our hands. With the help of the Pikeville Police Department, the school district will have officers placed in both Pikeville High School and Pikeville Elementary by August 11th. Yeah, I think that what we see here is is a trusted adult who will be present in the building and will be there throughout the day. And so again, I think anytime we work to remove barriers that are in front of our kids, we have people that they trust around them and they trust our staff, our faculty and our staff now. And so we're just adding an additional person to be part of that. And it's someone that it will be in both buildings. So folks who have law enforcement experience and have an ability to successfully build relationships. For Mountain Top News, I'm Joel Korjol.


President Mohamed Abu-Hari has written the House of Representatives to seek approval of 894.842 billion Naira supplementary budget to fund purchase of COVID-19 drugs and weapons for the armed forces. In a letter addressed the speaker Femi Bajabiamila and read at Plenary on Tuesday, the president said the supplementary budget is limited to some critical needs, stressing that other needs will be contained in the 2022 budget. The president indicated the 2022 appropriation bill will be presented to the National Assembly in September. He said COVID-19 drugs will be procured from the supplementary budget as the federal government intends to vaccinate about 70 percent eligible Nigerians before the end of 2022. So you get notified about fresh news updates


If you use Ecamm Live and don't know exactly what all of the menu items do then it's videos for you Hello, and welcome to Take One Tech My name is Alec and I recently did a video all about the different preferences for Ecamm Live So I'll leave a link to that video up in the top corner But I mentioned that I'd do another one similarly for all of the menu bar items So that in a nutshell is what this video is all about. So I don't think it needs much more introduction So let's just get on with it. Shall we if I come over to my screen sharing now And I'll just basically run through all of these menu items and let you know what they all do in case There's some that you've missed because I do notice that there's questions come up sometimes in the Ecamm Live community Which by the way, if you're not a member of the Facebook group then go to facebook.com Slash groups slash Ecamm Live and join the community because there's thousands of people in there that are all doing the same thing all similarly creative just like you and Sharing their wisdom and experiences. So it's a great a great place to be but often things come up in there that are Basically things that you can find in the menu bar So I thought it'd be useful to just go through all of the menu bar items and yeah You'll hopefully maybe pick up a few little nuggets of information that might help you out along the way here so the first menu bar item is the Ecamm Live program menu and a lot of these are going to be similar to you'll find in Any other Mac application. So but I know that some of you are new to the Mac I know that there's some people who switch to the Mac just so that they could use Ecamm Live It really is that good So some of you I know I'm not entirely familiar with Mac So I thought I'd just go through all of these even the ones that might appear obvious So the first one is about Ecamm Live. We can obviously find out some more information about Ecamm Live It'll tell you the version number and things like that. So sometimes people will mention in the group That there's some issue or some problem or something like that and people will ask what version of Ecamm Live are you using? So if you click on here It will tell you the version number and then you'll know whether you are on the latest one or not And we'll come up to updating Ecamm Live in a little moment Next we have log in and log out of Ecamm Live We've also got begin recording end recording and so on Now obviously you have got the big red record button and end and resume and things like that Actually in the window itself. However, it is useful to note that they're in here Not that you would necessarily navigate to them But with all Macs what you'll find is if there is any menu bar item and there's Something in the menu bar there that has a keyboard shortcut associated with it Then it will always tell you what the keyboard shortcut is there So that's a great way to familiarize yourself with keyboard shortcuts that are associated with any Mac app It's just to go through the menus look at the different commands and then look at the keyboard shortcuts So that tells me that if I want to pause this recording I can actually press command P and if I want to end the recording I can press command E and so on So it is a really good habit to get into when you start a new program on a Mac Just run through and see what the keyboard shortcuts are because They might take a little while to learn but once you do they'll save a lot of time Incidentally, I did a video surprisingly enough all about keyboard shortcuts So I'll leave a link to that video in the top corner as well And that shows you as well how to use something called keyboard shortcut. Sorry An application called cheat sheet, which will help you learn the keyboard shortcuts But then also one that's called custom shortcuts that allows you to actually set your own keyboard shortcuts You can do it in the Mac system, but this application is just a little bit simpler to you So those are both worth checking out and as I say I talk about them in the video They're both free apps as well by the way So next one is this check for updates You should have Ecam live so that it's checking for updates automatically And if there is an update it's always worth updating Because they're generally pretty stable releases So and they will have no doubt fixed some bugs if there is an update come out So as I say always worth updating But if you haven't then you can always just check for an update there So if ever you post in the group saying that you've had a problem with x y and z And somebody says upgrade to the latest version This is where you do it check for update and then upload update to the latest version Now the next one down is preview mode And again, this is one of these ones where you're probably not likely to Activate it from the menu, but it's good to know the shortcut Which is command return or enter and then publish and I'll do a whole video about that I haven't done it yet, but I will do it in the next day or so And that is how you can basically Preview changes that you're going to make two scenes And or rather edit scenes actually during a live recording Not that you'd probably do it during a recording But certainly during a live stream you may want to update a scene or something like that And then publish those changes, but it just allows you to do some changes To a scene before they are actually sort of live into your stream So as I say I'll do a video about that when I do I'll be sure to leave a link, of course Next one is preferences Well, we talked all about that so that will be in that video specifically about system Not system preferences, ecam live preferences And you can get to it from here or pressing command comma Or it's also obviously in the ecam live window as well so you can get to it that way Next one uninstall system audio So that's not really something we want to do to stop you from being able to access the system audio with ecam live But that's where you do it if you wanted to Services we don't need to really worry about that because that's something for another video as well in in apple mac in the max os you can actually create what are called services so you can actually program your own specific shortcuts and things like that and Those are all called services certain macros and things like that you can program So you can actually create your own little things to run within programs And then assign them and those would show up there But that is getting a little bit too advanced for this run through So I'll talk about that in a completely separate video all about how to create services on the mac Next is hide ecam live So if you want to actually hide all of the ecam live windows Then you would click that one or press command h But if you wanted to hide all of the other windows that are on your screen except ecam live Then it would be command option h So that would hide all of the other windows and leave you with just ecam live on the screen and again These are things that are common to other applications as well And then if you had hidden either the ecam live or the all of the other windows Then you would click this show all to bring everything back onto the screen again And finally obviously command q is quit ecam live as this is with any other application that you may be in Next is the edit menu. So a lot of these are going to seem pretty familiar We've got the usual undo and redo Cooked copy and paste and so on. But also we've got a few extra ones as well as the normal copy and paste We've also got a copy facebook post url, so if you are actually streaming to facebook Then you can copy the url for that particular post and the same with any Embedded url and chat url as well. So that's the way that you can just actually grab that Straight out of ecam to be able to post it somewhere if you want to link to that Then we've also got the paste and match style Which is a common thing if you've taken some text from somewhere Which has got a particular font or style or whatever and then you want to paste it in and maintain that Then you can do paste and match style But we've also got this other feature here, which is obviously quite specific to ecam Which is pasting something as an overlay So so next we've also got obviously delete select all these are all pretty common Universal commands that you've got with apple so command a for Select all we've also got search comments. So that's something quite specific Command f so if you're doing a live streaming you've got comments up Then you can search the the comments that way We've also got these two command plus and command minus so that makes an overlay bigger or smaller on the screen So it's a sort of way to zoom in onto the overlay for example Next is stop current sound effect. That's a good one to remember and possibly program into your stream deck Sometimes you might click on a piece of music or click on some sound effect or go to a scene that's got a sound effect And you maybe have done it by mistake You don't know quite where it's coming from and you just want to stop whatever that sound effect is Then you can press command period command full stop whichever way you look at it And that will stop whatever sound is going on. So Kind of handy if you've pressed something by accident, which I often tend to do Next is just basically a couple of system things So start dictation or emoji and symbol picker. So those are just sort of apple universal commands there really Next one is into scene So show the scenes window. So that is the sort of panel that you have in ecam live with all of your different scenes on it So something like this Where you've got all your scenes so you can show and hide this You can obviously show and hide this from the little toggle button that's on the ecam live window itself But this is where you can actually activate it there and again good to check the shortcut for that And then we can also create a new empty scene Duplicate a scene or lock the current scene. So again, these are all things that can be done in the panel The scenes panel. So if I just bring that back across for a moment We can duplicate a scene down at the bottom here In fact, it's just off the screen a little bit. There we go We can duplicate that down here. In fact, that's still off I do beg your pardon. I have to make this a little bit smaller So let's do all fit onto there. There we go. That's better, isn't it? So we can add a new scene here. We can duplicate a scene But those can also be done in in here So either new scene duplicate scene and of course we can toggle a scene to be locked By just toggling the little lock there, but you can also see that you can just do it with this keyboard shortcut We've also got the previous and next scenes. So command and then left and right arrow toggles between Up and down through the scenes as they appear in your scene viewer here. So or your scene panel. So these are all the scenes if I press command Left then it will cycle up through the scenes and command right will go down through the scenes Now also, this is a useful one as well command backspace just will take you to whatever the last scene that you were on was So if you are flicking around maybe using a stream deck and you sort of hop from one to another That are not sort of consecutive then pressing command backspace will get you back to the last one now I did a video about this as well funnily enough because I call this my Sort of in case of emergency press this button in case of a scene emergency Where sometimes when you're using stream deck and maybe you're not quite familiar with exactly where things are It's easy to just press the wrong scene and then you think how do I get back to where I was? Well command backspace is a great way to just hop back to wherever you were and Can get you out of a mess if you've gone to the wrong scene by accident Now the next ones are basically all it just lists all of your existing scenes So the interesting thing about this that some people don't realize is that As the scenes appear in your scene stack here or scene panel In this order, they just are numbered one two three four five all the way up to Nine and so if you press command one it will take you to your first scene command two will be your second scene and so on so That's a great a great way in fact if I go there So I've got this these scenes here as well So I can press command one to go to this scene command two three four five and six and so on so If you haven't got a lot of scenes and they're just organized like that and you don't use a stream deck Then this is often the easiest way to just flick between scenes if you know where what number they're on So that is the the scenes tab and then the next tab down is or the next menu bar item rather not tabs Is the source so this is where you select basically what is the main source of the scene? So it would either be a blank canvas a blank blank scene where you can add on different overlays and elements and things like that Or it can be a camera. So you just have your whatever your default camera is So maybe like a front to head on shot or something like that Then you might just have it your camera is the Sort of main element in the scene and everything else built on top of that Or it could be a screen sharing or a video file And so for the video file you can just click in there and select the file that you want I usually just drag video files in if I want to have a scene where it's got the The video file is the basis for the scene. So in that case, I would just literally drag on the video file onto the The window and then that's it. That would become the the the source of the scene So the next one is a camera selection. So this is where you've got lots of different cameras and once again Some people don't realize that the cameras are numbered as well So you can flick between different cameras by just pressing the number that is assigned to each camera So you'll see here. I've got a lot of cameras and virtual cameras. Oh obs. I remember those days I'm glad those are over But anyway, so that was the obs virtual camera and then I've obviously got my this is my canon eos 60d Which is what I'm using for this my 10 year old camera still going strong. Although it might get knocked out by a sony zb 10 We'll see we'll see that though Now next thing you can do in here is if you um, in fact as a default I should mention this the built-in camera is enabled on your macbook or whatever computer you're using But I'm not really a fan of the macbook cameras And in any case it's over there and it's pointing in the wrong direction and I just basically would never want to use it So you can have a you can disable the built-in camera if you want and so you would click that here Mine it says re-enable because it is currently disabled And then also when you've got your list of cameras here You can say to which ones you want to include in the switcher. So here you can see that this is actually a ndi tools output But then I've got my canon My hd c9 20 which is my logitech that I use for my top-down camera And then also you've got your guests if you you have interview mode And so basically you tick the ones in here that you want to include in the In the switcher and then those are the ones that then have numbers assigned to them So you can see that all of these other ones I don't have any these numbers assigned to them. So they're not included in the switcher So that's what that means Next on we have the microphone and again, we've got whoops a daisy next on we've got the microphone and Yeah, he's just got the different microphones And so you're selecting which one is your active microphone there So and then you can also just mute and there is the keyboard shortcut for that However, you need to just mute your microphone in a hurry is shift command m And so yeah, that's just basically a mic picker. There's not a lot more to say about that Next in the overlays. So once again, we've got show overlays window. So that's just the the window that Surprisingly shows your overlays. So something like this. This is the ecum live panel that is showing all of your overlays So this command square bracket Is basically to show or hide that panel and again, you can do that obviously from the little symbol in the ecum live window itself Next is if you want to add in overlays So you can specify from here. There's the keyboard shortcut to add them in now. If you are in the ecum live Overlays window. So this one here, you can see that down at the bottom. We can either add a picture overlay We can add an animated movie overlay text overlay countdown Web widget a camera overlay or this is just actually a folder But those are basically all related to these so you can see overlay image overlay animated overlay text countdown camera or widget So basically rather than coming down here and dragging your mouse all the way across the screen There is a keyboard shortcut Associated with each of those as well. So we could do that there as well And incidentally the camera overlays New camera overlay. It does actually just list all of your cameras. So rather than Clicking on the button down here to add a camera overlay and then having to go and manually select exactly which camera you want You can actually just add them in directly from here and get just the one you want straight Straight off without having to select it. So Next you've also got some recently added items. So these are just basically all things that you've recently added into your overlays Oops Daisy. Sorry about that And then you can also do hide all seen overlays clear all seen overlays and then also the hide last comment so When you're doing a live stream and people are commenting then it will put that comment in to and you select it to add it to your stream So that it appears on the in the actual the output Then it will just basically add that in as an overlay So if you want to hide the last comment, you can just click commander j and that will take it off the screen You can also cycle between overlays. So if you've got some overlays, for example Maybe you're doing a presentation. I should probably do a video on this Maybe you're doing a presentation and you want some bullet points that you want to sort of fly in consecutively One after another or you've got different images that you want to cycle through something like that You can actually drop those all into a folder As individual overlays overlays not overlays. I'm not quite sure what they are and then using these buttons the option shift left and right That will sorry not option that's control shift left and right That will then cycle between all of those different overlays and sort of swap one out for the the next one So I'll do a video all about that actually because it is quite a useful little feature for doing Sort of presentations and things like that. So I'll do a separate video about that and be sure to link it down below So the next window Menu I'm getting all my terminology wrong. I'm very sorry. This is quite unprofessional, isn't it? The next menu is the recording menu Now you can toggle on here. This was something that was in the preferences as well And what you'll find is the you get lots of things in these menus that are Sort of duplicated. They're either in the preferences They might be in the menus or they might be actually something that's on screen And it all just means you've got multiple different ways to to do things But they all do the same thing. So you can toggle record all broadcasts on or off So you may want to do a live stream where you don't actually record it to your local disc I would probably recommend that you always do just in case you never know So that's always useful in my my opinion. I always just leave that one on Next is show recordings. So if you press shift command r that will take you to all of your recordings folder Where all of your recordings are stored and then also in here you can choose the recordings folder So if you want to specify it as a particular place on your hard drive Then this is how you do that. Just click on there and then choose another location And once again, you can also Do that in the preferences as well Next one is send last recording to youtube. So this is what I do Often is once I finished a recording If for some reason I don't actually just do it instantly when the the recordings finished You always get the option to upload to youtube But sometimes I just do send last recording to youtube and then it will just send it there that way Because I don't do any editing as much as I can avoid it Sometimes I have to a little bit chop out something or other here or there But generally I don't so yeah That's a really nice feature just be able to send it straight to youtube and then go in and edit all the details afterwards Next menu is the output menu now I did a video just recently all about zoom and some of the features of zoom And how you can basically get better image quality out of zoom So I'll leave a link to that up in the top corner as well But a lot of that was centered around some of these controls. So specifically the The virtual cam is what you might use to get your feed or your Ecam live into zoom into teams or something like that if you want to use it as a virtual camera The sharing window is something specific for zoom as well or to help out with zoom and other things And then the other method was the video monitor, but I'm sort of crossing over into what was covered in that That other video. So I'll leave a link to that video separately But first let me just actually go through what all of these are So the the video monitor output is basically At the moment this is set to it's off So it's not going anywhere else, but I do have two other monitors attached to this computer So I could have the output as you are seeing it or as it would be going out to the stream I could have just that so rather than having a separate You know the ecam live window itself with all of the controls and things like that I could have a video monitor output to just show me exactly what the output is That's going out to the recording or to the live stream and this is where I would select Which monitor to have that going to so for example if you were using a teleprompter and you wanted to have a Confidence monitor where you see the output actually in your teleprompter Then here you would just select the monitor that you're using with your teleprompter next we have audio monitor as well So this is where you would send a feed to something Like an external monitor or something External speakers. I don't want to confuse terminology. It is a monitor because you are monitoring it But I don't want to confuse it with being an actual screen monitor if you see what I mean So you could have this coming back to earphones or something like that if you wanted to monitor the sound output But bear in mind there will actually be a delay on this and some people Who get echo and things like that on their headphones? Especially if you're using something like I've got where I've got a short mv7 With a audio jack coming out of it as a monitor and the microphone is dealing with all the monitoring And that's going into my earphones my my in ear monitors If I actually had this audio monitor set on it would actually be duplicating that with a slight delay So it would give you this weird sort of echoing effect And so there's been a few cases in the past where people have said that they're getting some sort of weird echo And they've thought that they needed to have this on in addition to any other Audio monitoring monitoring that they've got so just do bear that in mind And if you do do ever get some sort of strange echo Then this might be something to check out So the next one is ndi output. So you can use ecam live itself as an ndi source And I've done a video all about ndi. So I'll Leave a link to that. I seem to be leaving a link to a lot of videos I don't mean to be just filling this with their links. It's just that when you've done videos on other specific topics It does seem worth mentioning them. So, uh, yeah, I'll leave a link to that in the description And uh, next we have the virtual camera. So this is as I say This is where you can use ecam live and use the output as a virtual camera So then you can basically bring that into zoom and rather than just using your camera directly into zoom You can bring ecam live and all of the good features and benefits that you get from ecam live As a camera into into zoom or microsoft teams or skype if anybody still uses skype So this is where you would turn this on or off I should mention that that is actually part of a the the pro level subscription to ecam live So it's not available for the standard package Uh, but yeah, if you if you do a lot of zoom calls and you think you might need it then It's certainly a worthwhile addition. So That is where you toggle that on and off and I should also mention that when you do sign up to the pro account It won't necessarily be installed as a default. And so you'll just come down to here Where it will say for new installs It will say install virtual cam and then once you've done it, uh, then you can toggle it on and off here Next is the sharing window and uh, this is better explained in the whole video I did about zoom because this basically will create a sort of virtual window for the output of Of ecam live in the same way that you could actually output it to a specific screen as a video monitor You can also create this sharing window and then when you're in zoom You can go to screen sharing and then you'll see Ecam live sharing window and then that will just give you just the output as well Which will help with your video quality in zoom So we're nearly at the end now. The next one is the Options and here we've got a few other options to have a look at. So first of all, we've got stream options And that will come up when you're actually on a live stream To adjust some of the settings there the next one down is stream size. So this is one that you can Change before the stream. You can't change it midstream, but you can change the resolution from either low res High res standard Really high or 4k. So just bear in mind if you're going to go to 4k Do make sure you've got the bandwidth to to handle that for live streaming We've also got the stream aspect and it's a stream max aspect But it's actually video aspect because you can come in here and change this for recording as well So it's not just for live streaming But yet the standard is obviously what i'm recording in now 16 by 9 but you can also make sort of extra wide the sort of letterbox style with the black and Top and bottom borders strips Classic 4x3 square or tall. So I did a very short one minute video A youtube short in fact about how you can make a tall videos and that's basically where you toggle that on So if you want to make youtube shorts TikTok videos instagram reels Things like that aren't with ecum live then you certainly can do And this is where you would do it to toggle it on and off There's also a toggle for High quality video mode. So I mentioned that in the preferences thing Preferences a video rather Which was I just have that on all the time. I've not noticed any Issues with speed as such that are affected by this being on or off. So yeah, I just always have that one Tuggled on So the next one down is we've got show picture in picture So this is when you're doing screen sharing or you're in video mode You can toggle on the picture in picture. So it'll put your little camera picture on so that is where you would toggle that on Next you've got the shape of the picture in picture. So these are the standard options You've got with any camera view actually, whether it's going to be wide square so on round or tall Next one down. We've got is a transition. So that is transition between scenes and I tend not to really bother with these too much as I mentioned in the preferences video because Yeah, I just stick with the either The default transition is what I normally use no transition Basically just flicks directly between the two scenes. But then all of these others start to get a little bit Cliche, I suppose it's the word But this is where you can change them if you want you can also change them in the preferences But you can change them here as well Next one is what to do with videos. It's how to handle videos rather. So beg your pardon. I'm just flicking too far ahead here There we go So if you've got a video that is the sort of base of the scene or the basis of the scene You've got a few options as to what to do when a video ends. So should it do nothing? Do you want it to just loop the video? Go to the next scene or end the broadcast So this is basically setting what the default is and I always just have it set to do nothing because then I can Just it and it won't be inadvertently ending the broadcast without me realizing what's going on But there are circumstances where you would want to use each of these other different options as well But that is just the default Next one is The window and so this is just basically again a pretty standard thing here for minimize zoom full screen and so on But then these ones down at the bottom are basically all of the different panels that you've got in In ecamm live. So we've got the uh, the sort of more common ones might be the Scenes sound effects sound levels preferences overlays things like that interview mode But then there's also a couple of others that don't feature or one in particular that doesn't feature on the little shortcut buttons on the Ecamm live sort of window and that is this bandwidth statistics So there isn't a shortcut associated with that one But you might want to toggle that one on if you're live streaming just to see how you're doing for bandwidth and so on But once again, you can see all of these shortcuts here again You can also just with one keystroke either show or hide all of the utility windows So if you do want to just you know get rid of all these little panels and things like that around your ecamm Live, maybe you're going to do a screen demo or something like that And you know that you don't need those all in the way Then you can just as I say just hide them all like that as well Finally, we've got the help section. So again, not much to say in here You can always search and by the way, this is another mac thing is in every help menu There will always be this little search bar at the top And if you're looking for a particular command you can just type it in here And it will always show you exactly where that command is in the sort of menu stack and how you get to it But you can also contact support from here. So lots of times people in the ecamm live group with Sort of issues and things like that Understandably reaching out to the group But sometimes there are things that do need to be addressed with support directly So if you're having some specific issue and you can't find the answer in by searching in the ecamm live group Contact support because in my experience, they've been very good at and responsive at getting back Next is the ecamm live user guide and the ecamm live online support as well. So definitely check those out as well So that is basically the ecamm live menu bars And we've done it in 30 minutes just a quick run through and as I say It's always a good habit to get into with any new application really It's just to basically familiarize yourself with all of those menus And you often find that by just going through and cycling through and whenever there are those little sort of arrows to say that There's an extension. So what I mean by that is Something like for example these where you see these little arrows next to the menu items It means there's kind of like a sub menu. So just familiarizing yourself with all the menus and sub menus Then you'll often find that there are little nuggets and little commands that you might not have even realized existed I know that that back to previous scene was one that I found that way And some of the others like hiding the comments and things like that. Uh, we're basically just discovered by digging into the menu stack. So Highly recommend that if you have found this useful then as ever don't forget to like and subscribe and uh, yeah share the channel with any friends or family who you think might find this content valuable as well So that's all for this video But don't go anywhere because there are plenty more ecamm live videos coming up right now Have a great day everyone


So I was directed to channel the rainbow light to my cells, my organs, my entire being, my aura, my chakra system and keep building that. And then after I got to the stage where I felt my system was really pulsing with that frequency of it, I was then given this divine message of, okay, now you're a lit up rainbow warrior, you need to channel that into the ocean and the ocean talked to me. She said, I'm depleted in energies. She's like, look, there's gray and black in me. And then that's from the well spills, the pollution, the nuclear waste in it.


So he's going to hold it here about 15 minutes, folks. Let me look at that character's meeting. He's done. He's going to hold this. So you are welcome to stay or go. So you are welcome to stay or go. Right now. Yep. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Good to see my colleague. See you. Trying to get a press job. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. We were down there for retreat last February. Somebody came in and stayed. And they had this ring, you wouldn't believe. And it was jacked up like one of those Mercedes. It was jacked up like it was something. So they had just come out of the keys. They had just come out of the keys. They had just come out of the keys. Wow. So I feel bad. I was down in Georgia. And the guy at the airport was helping us out. He was his last day. He was retiring. He drives that American trail that goes from North Carolina to Tennessee. It's an off-road trail. I have to think about it. It's pretty nice. It's not called America's Trail, but it's said. It goes from North Carolina to Virginia through Tennessee. It's a cross-country trail. He's about to open it up. It's hard to find. Every now and again I get a good shot. It goes all over the place. Yeah. Somebody takes care of me. I can't make it in here. I'm like Jean Lelafel. The speaker will speak. I guess no yesterday. I was home for Thanksgiving. And they had said the day I caught Thanksgiving that there was .06. And they said typically it would be 7 inches of snow. And they said last on the year prior. And then she's got a guy who does the back of the car. She's got a guy who does the back of the car. And then she's got a guy who does the back of the car. I just had a good meeting with President Zelensky. I reiterated to him that we stand with him and against Putin's brutal invasion. The American people stand for freedom. And they're on the right side of this fight. I have asked the White House since the day that I was handed the gavel as speaker for clarity. We need a clear articulation of the strategy to allow Ukraine to win. And thus far their responses have been insufficient. They have not provided us the clarity and the detail that we requested over and over since literally 24 hours after I was handed the gavel as speaker of the House. And so what the Biden administration seems to be asking for is billions of additional dollars with no appropriate oversight, no clear strategy to win, and none of the answers that I think the American people are owed. I have also made very clear from day one that our first condition on any national security supplemental spending package is about our own national security first. The border is an absolute catastrophe. And this is because of the policies of this White House and this administration. We had 12,000 illegal crossings on one day last week alone, on Wednesday. We have almost now 280 known terrorists that have been apprehended at the border. None of this counts the gotaways. If you add the numbers up it's almost 7 million people who have been apprehended at the border just since President Biden took office and at least 2 million gotaways. This is twice the population of my state of Louisiana. Fentanyl is the leading cause of death for Americans aged 18 to 49 in this country. Fentanyl poisoning because it's allowed over the border. We have human trafficking and all the other terrible things. In the last three months, October and November, December alone, we've had more illegal crossings at the border than in any entire year during the Obama administration. The American people see this, they feel it acutely, they see all the terrible societal ills that come from this and it must be addressed. So I've made this very clear again from the very beginning when I was handed the gavel. We needed clarity on what we're doing in Ukraine and how we'll have proper oversight of the spending of precious taxpayer dollars in the American citizens and we needed a transformative change at the border. Thus far, we've gotten neither. The Senate has been MIA on this. The House HR2, six months ago, more than six months ago, it's been sitting and collecting dust on Chuck Schumer's desk. I have told him personally, I have told the National Security Advisor, the Secretary of State, the Secretary of Defense, that these are our conditions because these are the conditions of the American people and we are resolute on that. It is not the House's issue right now, the issue is with the White House and the Senate and I implore them to do their job because the time is urgent and we do want to do the right thing here. With that, thank you very much.
