Hello and welcome to NewsClick. NewsClick brings a series of interviews on the three years of Modi government and today we are going to discuss about the education. To discuss the issue we have with us Abha Dev Habib, former Executive Council member of the Delhi University and also a professor in Miranda House. Abha, welcome to NewsClick. So we look at these three years of the government and how do you assess it, what has been the situation in terms of academic policies, the policies of the government and interventions? Yeah, I see three important developments. One is that in terms of educational policies there is a greater push towards commercialization, whether we look at new education policy, draft policy or we look at what has happened in terms of announcements through budget speeches of Arun Jaitli. For example, in 2016-17 they announced creation of higher education funding agency without discussing this matter at any platform. And this year they announced the scheme of autonomous colleges. The other development is, you know, there is a assault on the autonomy of the system of various organizations. For example, university system. The moment Modi Sarkar came in, they imposed choice-based credit system, taking away autonomy of the universities to create their own syllabi and coursework. And there have been continuous attack in terms of administrative autonomy. I want to clarify here that in terms of autonomous colleges. The autonomous colleges is a scheme where they do not have really academic autonomy. They will also have to have choice-based credit system and so and so forth. And in terms of administrative autonomy, I am sure in terms of administrative autonomy also they will not have the freedom. However, they will have financial autonomy which means that they can raise the fee and also give courses in self-financing mode. So, otherwise there is no autonomy with the institutions to run their own programs to think about coursework and so and so forth. The third thing which has happened is continuous attack on university systems. Whether it was, we have seen how Hyderabad University was under the scanner, how ABVP has become instrumental in creating ruckus in the systems and where individuals or groups of people are labeled anti-national and so and so forth. And there is an attack on student unions. And this is happening because I think the government understands that the resistance will come from the student unions today. After reservation policy, after the inclusion policy, the complexion of the student movement today has changed. And it has students from all work, from marginalized section which understand the importance of public funded institutions. So let us go into these three points separately. The first point that you raise is an important point that is the privatization of education. And we have seen PPP model developing over few years, in last few years. Can you throw some more light on it vis-a-vis the new education policy? And how is it, how is the government moving forward on it? See when there was lot of opposition on the draft new education policy that was withdrawn. However it is being implemented through announcements and so and so forth. In terms of education policies, NDA Sarkar is quite an extension of UPA2. If you look at the six education bills which were stopped by Rajasabha, once again we see that the prime minister for example has asked Niti Ayo for the foreign education bill. In terms of their use of ranking system, you know ranking whether it is NIRF or whether it is NAC has become a big thing in the country today. And if you look at the draft new education policy, one of the important recommendations there is that ranking or rating will be used to give greater autonomy to the institutions which are doing well. Autonomy one has to read in terms of financial autonomy and for weeding out those institutions which are not performing well. Recently you hear that you know Times of India carried a news report wherein the MHRT has said that 11 universities are not performing well. And the funny thing was that it was asking UGC to come up with the criterias through which it could announce universities not performing. So it first announced that these 11 universities are ill and then is asking UGC to come up with the criteria. So how I mean in both cases whether you are performing well and therefore you are given financial autonomy or you are closed down or your land is given now to NGOs and so and so forth or private players to run the institution in both the ways actually what you are doing is commercializing higher education. You are giving it to the private pocket. So this is one big agenda whether it is for an education bill or whether through these things, ratings and rankings you want to actually further the whole thing of commercialization of higher education. In fact the third point which I said was that you know there is a attack on the student movements and this whole thing of when the JNU SU was fighting stopping of non-net fellowship occupy UGC movement, stopping of non-net fellowship you see that there is an attack on JNU SU and Kanhaiya was arrested and everybody knows about it. Through that also they want to achieve the agenda of commercialization and I want to tell you why I think so because in many TV channels where I went I heard BJP MPs or MLAs or some supporter shouting that why we should fund universities such professors and why should we fund politics yeah why we fund politics or why should we fund JNU which is a you know a space which is creating anti-nationals. So once again you want to close down you want to create an impression in the minds of the in the minds of the people that these universities are not functioning well that they are actually becoming places of anti-national activities and why should taxpayers money go and should be used for funding of these universities. So once again you want to create a argument for closing down higher education institutions and privatize these places. Actually the second question that I was going to ask about your second point and the point you have raised about the financial autonomy. Since Stephens College has been against this autonomous has been active on this movement continuously resisting this move of the administration can you throw some more light on that because we have seen high fee structures now being imposed in different universities. The recent example that comes to my mind is of Punjab of Punjab where students have been on streets they have been beaten up 66 students have been charged with sedition charges so can you throw some more light on that see I think the attempt is to decrease the gap between the fee structures of the private and the public. So one of the ways is to give financial autonomy to increase for example in IITs also if you look at last 5 years the fees has been increased systematically and today per semester they are paying or per year they are paying 2.5 lakhs close to 2.5 lakhs per year rather than paying 30,000. So you want to reduce the gap between public and private in terms of their fee structure also. So making colleges autonomous asking them to raise fee and you know one of the recommendation of 7th pay commission is that autonomous units have to raise 70 percent the government will contribute 30 percent should come from the institution which will mean finally burdening of the student. Similar on the PPP model. So the thing is that the government wants to shift the focus from institutional grants to institutional loans through HIFA. It wants to shift the whole thing of subsidized education to student loan. So that is a continuous shift. So whether you will look at the autonomous college scheme or whether you will look at what will happen to funding through HIFA it I mean very clearly Arun Jaikli has said and subsequently many articles have come how if you want to open a nanotechnology lab the government will not give you grant. You can take funds from HIFA which can be paid back through student loan. The example is of an IIT where you need 100 crore grant. So instead of getting grant you take funds loans of through HIFA and you can in build that through student fee and pay back in 10 years or 12 years. So you raise the point about ABVP and I feel it personally that it is not only ABVP but they also motivated appointments that have taken place in last three years. We saw how FTII there was a 4 months strike. There now we have a vice chancellor in Jawaharlal University who is not ready to meet even the professors and is passing AC meeting whatever he wants to even when the teachers and students are opposing it. So how do you see that I mean the systematic attack on co-structures administrative functioning. See if you have a administrative head who is not going to respond to what the students and teachers want. Does not want to take forward decisions in a democratic function through democratic functioning but is following orders is basically hollowing the system from within the autonomy from within creating environment where you manufacture consent. And this we had seen in fact during Professor Dines Singh's tenure in Delhi University when UPI 2 was pushing semester system then it pushed FY UP in Delhi University through similar means. And this is very unfortunate because then the university sees to be a universe spaces where you have to think. You develop rational thinking. Rational and free thinking. I mean since we have discussed all these points and we see that the situation is really worse but there is also a movement which is building up and I think it is the resistance that students and teachers have shown that one should take forward. So how do you watch the way ahead actually. The way ahead is joint movements by students and teachers and I think we should reach out to parents because if commercialization of school education has already privatization has taken place. With a drastic budget cut. There is a drastic budget cut. In fact we are not even back to what was the funding towards education in 2013-14. There has been such a drastic budget cut. But one thing one warning which we have to you know we have to go to the parents and inform them about this development that if higher education is dismantled then there is no hope for their kids. I mean there is no hope for the next generation and this will create stratification further stratify the society and creating those who can afford education and get white collar jobs and others who will be there in the service sector. So we need to reach out to parents and ask them to join the movement and make a combined joint movement. This is the only way ahead. Thanks a lot Abha and as these things proceed will be coming back to you on such issue. Thanks a lot. Thank you for watching NewsClick.


Yay. Can you hear me really? Okay. Good. Okay. I lost 15 minutes. That's okay. We'll just have to do this quickly. Shani told me that I should have told her that she took 15 minutes for my time. I told her this is my contribution to lessen the gender gap. So giving her 15 more minutes, my little thing. Okay. Coolest projects. This is I think the seventh year or sixth that I'm doing this project since 2012. This lecture. Every year it's different projects. The idea is to show what is done in various places around the world by chapters, affiliates, user groups, volunteers. Anybody can do a cool project. And then what I really like about it is that project that is cool one year is submitted again for this lecture two or three years later, which shows that the coolness is being propagated. So I'm doing this to give you ideas to do the same project in other areas. So first disclaimer. Of course, not all chapters project, not all affiliates and volunteers projects, only ones submitted to me. And only that only project that fit the definition of cool and low budget. Wikimedia Israel presented yesterday a very cool project about a caller forcing Glam institution to cooperate with us even when they don't want it. But it costs $2,500. So that's very cool, but too expensive. I defined cool as less than $2,000. So my definition. So again, I want to emphasize some of the projects sent to me, cool and low budget. Okay. So what is cool? Oh, cool is a big word. That's better. I used two definition for cool every year. The same two definition. First definition by Wojtek Wojtek. I think I hope I hope I stay his name right. New brave cost efficient and fun to talk about. I think this is a very good definition of cool. Something that's fun to talk about. Claudia Gerard gave also a great definition, motivating volunteers, newcomers, partners, added value, and future collaboration. Coolness. It's cool one year, but it must continue throughout the next year, have further impact, and encourage other places to do the same. So the program for today. First, I will present the coolest projects. I hope I will have enough time to do this. The projects were chosen by me and Daria, those that fit this criteria. Then we will, I will show you the finalists. There are three finalists. And then you will vote and choose the coolest project for 2019. I asked two people to help me with the voting, to count the votes. We are voting the Roman way. Not raising your hands because I can't see anybody, but by clapping your hands or your feet and shouting yay. Okay? So you vote. As I said, Daria was helping me. This is from a Zino Lario. She's with me. She's been helping me the past four years, I think. So the big question is, where is Daria? Why is she not here? It's not that she's lazy. She's working on her own cool project. This is a meeting from 2014 that was held in Wikimedia Israel. Jan Bart was the head of the Board of Trustees at the time and he came. And first of all, you can see the participants. You really can see the gender gap here. You know the woman in red project aimed at narrowing the gender gap? Everybody heard about it? Yes. Well, this is an example. There is one woman and she's in red. This is Daria. That guy noticed her and they went on a photo hunting tour to this very romantic place and they fell in love. And then in the middle of a wiki meeting, he gave a lecture and he proposed to her. She was very surprised. She was taking the video and this is the image. We have this. This is the Hebrew article of marriage proposals. And we have their picture because this is a real proposal. It's not simulated. And then they got married in Wikimania in Mexico. Jan Bart did the ceremony. Jimmy was the father of the bride for the purpose of the ceremony. And here is the cool project. Here he is in the Glam Conference in Tel Aviv. The help desk. So he is cool. Okay. As a cool project for 2019, everything that submitted after 2018. The main subject this year is glam because of the tracks. So I had to fit one of the tracks of the conference. So this is the glam track. Project number one, wiki loves birds from Nepal. The idea is behind these projects to photograph birds in Nepal for commons, improve the quality of the articles in English and in Nepali Wikipedia, improve wiki species, the articles about the world in wiki species, and do outreach program. Remember, coolness must create something afterwards. So they collaborated with conservation experts and expert wildlife photographers, collaborated with an organization named a country in Nepali. Wait. It's called bird life Nepal. That's the name of the organization. One of the things they did, you see the people, they did a session about how to do bird watching and how to recognize birds. So they bought the wikipedia and taught them. And I think that's one of the benefits of being a wikipedia. You get to learn cool stuff, go to interesting places. We give so much to society, we need to get something back. That's good. They bought a famous bird expert board member from bird life Nepal to teach them how to identify and how to watch birds. 24 people participated in the session. And this is the result of the project. 1200 new images of them, 10 valued and 15 quality images of 172 species. That's a lot. They built an ongoing relationship with bird life Nepal, which is now a glam cooperation with Continues. 15 participants and editor tone, 10 new users, and I continue. This is a very good outcome. Seven photo works, 103 articles created of them, 100 in Nepali and French English. Lots of edits, 20 editors participated. Then I ask them a question, why do they think this is cool? And they give a definition, which I probably will use next year also. Cool is unique, innovative. You use the lesson later, create strong partnerships and focus on the objectives. Okay. This is a cool picture that he took. Yeah. Well, that's cool. Oh, yeah. You can clap, but the voting is the end, but they do deserve clapping. So, yeah. Okay. Next project. This is both combination of meetups and glam.  And wiki goes Caribbean. Their goal was to write, update, improve information about the Dutch Caribbean and Suriname, which were previously Dutch colonies. Not only on Dutch Wikipedia, but also on local Wikipedia and of course, common pictures and wiki data. How did they do it? They send somebody to Aruba and Bonaire and Korsau, give workshops, trainings, teach local glam institutions how to work with local Wikipedians and encourage and teach the local Wikipedians as well how to do these kind of projects. Oh, this is a lovely place. We want to go there. They did glam partnership with all this glam participating. Not going to read all the list, but just looking at it, that's wow. And you're going to tell me, well, it's not low cost to send somebody to Caribbean, but most of the edit that they did were in Hague, in the National Archive in Hague, which is something that can be done in many countries. One thing that I think is cool, they had a food and drink team. Yeah, I'm fat. Food and drink, it's always cool. They brought all these kinds of foods and had articles written about them in Dutch Wikipedia and other languages. This is called Bolo Preto. I don't know what it is, but it looks tasty and Johnny cakes. I promise myself I'm going to write articles about this in also other languages. They give us tips. And it's important to train the trainers, teach the local trainers how to teach forward. You do not train once, but you need to teach them how to fish so they can train others. You need to train, do it several times, do it offline and then online and then offline in order to facilitate to increase the local wiki community. And you teach the GLAMs how to cooperate with Wikipedia, but more importantly, you teach the GLAMs how to teach other GLAMs. So that has bigger effects. I ask them again, what makes a cool project cool? This is a new definition that I really like, working together with cool organization and working together with lots of GLAM. Do you agree this is a new definition of coolness that we should apply? If you agree, tell me. Okay, next project. This also applies to meetups and community encouragement from India with wiki graphics boot camp. The idea is to create a community of wikipedia and graphics in India. They did it by series on online session and online training, two months training. Results, 22 wikipedia created 373 files for various projects. This is the first file created. And I give you some examples of the file created. This is one of the sessions. It was a 38 day long campaign and 19 languages. Of course, there are many more languages in India, but still one project that creates data in 19 languages is pretty cool. Because it's so many language communities, they had very difficulties that are unique. They needed to have a coordinator and language organizers to organize all the languages. So you see four coordinators, 26 language organizers, and they had to do training session to train the coordinators, which is difficult. In total results, about 200 participants, about 300 files, 3,000 files, 20 past languages, 11 events, and here you see in the comments the categories in all the various languages. Quite a lot. I have the number, several examples in different languages. I had the numbers, one second. About 3,000 files. That's a lot. Okay. Next project. Interwiki woman collaboration. Yes, definitely. This started in Wikimania. In Wikimania 2017, during the 100 wiki days meet up in Montreal, we had Armin from Armenia, Camilia from Italy, and Andrea from Argentina. They decided to have an international collaboration about writing articles about women. Not only at the same time, but on the same subjects. So in total, we had six languages, nine countries, 60 editors for two sessions. You see the language, the countries that participated. And this is an example of one session you had the women that was written about in different languages. And the wiki data items. Another example, there are still many minuses, but quite a lot of translation. This is a, they chose the subject of medieval Arabic women poets. Okay. That's for this project. Next project is a project from Spain. A ballot paper, campaigns and tools. The project is aimed at uploading ballots from campaigns, from elections. This is unique in two ways. First of all, there is lots of ballots. There's many local areas. You have many elections. You want to document the ballot papers. And these are usually destroyed soon after the elections. So there is a very short time period to collect and upload the images. But what's unique about this is this is something that can be done not only by Wikipedia's. By a lot of people who can be involved, politicians, people interested in politics. And this can get them into the community. Teach them about the movement, what can be done. And because it's people outside the movement mostly, they developed a web tool that did a lot of the work. One of the problems is to give proper names for the files, to scan and upload the files. And this is what the web tools did. And the graphics behind show you how many, what is the status in each area of the ballots uploaded. Results. Oh, well, I said the difficulty is a huge amount of documents. Many of these critiques, you need to coordinate a lot. And you have a very short time period to do this. The result of 60 participants, 10 campaigns, 2,600 files uploaded. And these are used in 120 articles. I asked them again, why is it cool? Involved members from different parties who are not Wikipedia. Causing collaboration. And people who do not have time to contribute in other way to the movement, learned about the movement and its goals. And maybe they will participate. Next project, there was a lecture about this yesterday, using AI and image recognition, adding WIT data, the PICS statement to artwork. One of the problems with AI is that it's difficult for machines to learn how to identify objects. What Andrew did, they uploaded images from the Met collectives, which are on commons. And had people play a game, the game is there, but it was so effective you cannot play it now because they finished all the pictures. But not only Wikipedia. 200 attendees, historians, tech people, the staff of the Met, Wikipedia volunteers came to play a game, they had food, drinks. This is what the game looked like. You see this picture? It's a village painting by, oh, I cannot see. It's a village. And they need to choose if you see a house or you don't see a house. If you see a tree and you don't see a tree. Once you do that, you get the items in Wikidata. So that's editing Wikidata, without actually going to Wikidata, teaching them how to edit. You don't have to open a username. The game opened like an anonymous username, who did all the edits. Later, editors checked it. But it also taught the computers AI learning. They taught it how to recognize images. And then you can have it running across other images doing the work. So at the end, the computer knew how to identify houses, trees, all the objects in the game. And that, of course, can assist Wikidata and other GLAM project in very effective ways. Okay, I like to end every lecture of mine with the same quote by Elena Roosevelt, one of the greatest, definitely the greatest woman, but one of the greatest people in the 20th century. She contributed to the founding of the United Nations and she personally did a lot of stuff. I've been to the museum dedicated to her in New York. She heard about church burning in the south of the United States in the 60s. And there is a picture of her walking with the stout cases to a bus station. She got onto the bus, she went to the churches, and she just sat on the steps of the churches to make sure they don't get burned. And she said nothing has ever been achieved by those who says this cannot be done. So of course, everything you've seen here can be done in other places. And now it's the time to choose the coolest project. I asked UTI to help me. Can I just come over and help with the voting? I'm going to show you the runners up. Don't vote yet. And then we're going to go over them and vote. Is there somebody from the projects here? I invited all of them, Richard, I think, from the Met. And Andrew, cool. I asked you to come as well, Andrew. Help me, yeah. And if you have questions later for Andrew, you can answer. So the runners up are Wicky Lovebird from Nepal. Wicky goes Caribbean. And the AI and image recognition from the Met. These are the finalists. Let's do the voting. Now you need to vote. If you like a project, clap or shout or vote. Thank you. Next one, Wicky goes Caribbean. Next one, Met Museum. Gaming. I think the last one won. Okay. It was very close. I think the first and the second one got the same amount. And this was the coolest. So yay, for coolest project. Thank you, Andrew. Do you have a question for Andrew? Well, I'll do the credits. Somebody? No questions. Okay. You need the... Thanks so much for voting for that game. And we hope to have some more candidates that you can play soon. Some stats about that game. There are more than 7,000 judgments made by Wicky Data Editors. And so they've resulted in about 5,000 edits or more to Wicky Data items. So if you look at the depict statements, you'll see things that all of you probably have tried one time or another to add to the Wicky Data items. We hope to have more things there soon. And as you said, there are more Wicky Data games to play. It's a really nice way to edit Wicky Data in kind of a relaxing mode. And thank you so much. We hope to get more games for you to play. It's especially cool because you don't have to learn Wicky Data. You don't have to have a username which is difficult to teach. It's complicated. You just play a game and it works. Okay. Thank you. If you have any questions for me, you can, but I don't... Okay. I think now it's lunch. Oh, yeah. One question. Oh, okay. We send every year an email to all the chapters, all the... And we publish in Facebook, in Wikipedia, one of the lists. Do you have a cool project? Do you have a Google Doc? Please fill it in. And those who answer, usually not many, send some reminders. It's a question for the audience. Do you think I should publish it also on the various village bumps in English, of course, but... Yeah. Okay. And then from that, mean Daria choose the ones that are applied to the definition of low cost, cool, and those are presented. Yes. Of course, the presentation will go on commons. Okay. Thank you.

Gregory Peck as Ridge Fowler in hitchhike poker A tale well calculated to keep you in Suspended Be what was Belden doing here in the police station? What was he trying to pull? I knew even before I put my hand in the coat that Belden's wallet would be there And I knew too that the police would never believe me no matter what I said I was trapped the desk sergeant was waiting for me to talk, but My throat was dry my tongue was paralyzed my brain spinning. Well, what do you get to save yourself? Well, you don't understand you see He gave me the coat I didn't know about the wallet that the best you can do But I tell you he picked me up when I was hitchhiking I was going home from school for the weekend then he forced me off the road He tried to kill me. He shot at me sergeant. Let the boy go, but mr. Belden it. I've changed my mind I don't intend to press charges, but this kid's crazy easy sergeant. He's the war veteran. Oh, I see.  Please don't believe him Everyone is entitled to one mistake any boy who is big enough to come into the police station Voluntarily give himself up deserves another chance if I could have erased the memory of his face when I Twisted that wheel and screamed so long, sonny all these benevolent words would have fooled me like they were fooling the desk sergeant Belden was bursting with sweetness and light But every word he said to release me only tightened the web tighter And I knew just as sure as I was standing there that he wasn't through with me But walking out of that door would be like releasing the clay bird at a trap shoot Well, it's up to you mr. Belden if you're sure he won't cause any more trouble I'm positive that after tonight this young man will be no trouble to anyone No trouble to anyone after tonight. I had to get away from there. I had to run I don't know how long I ran. I didn't know where I was the town was behind me. I stopped out of breath I Try to light a cigarette My hands shook like I had the palsy It was like the South Pacific Snipers and trees, but but what trees where? Then I saw the bright glaring neon ahead Mackinac's one sign said and wayside rest trucks welcome the other Just a dinky service station and a lunch wagon, but it was an oasis to me Howdy Hey, what's matter bud you sick?

I'm Sam Battenin and I'm the author of Malignant Self-Love, Narcissism Revisited. John Mali Horowitz writes in his book Stress Response Syndrome, published in 1998 in York, the following. When the habitual narcissistic gratifications that come from being adored, given special treatment and admiring the self when these are threatened, the results may be depression, hypochondriasis, anxiety, shame, self-destructiveness, or rage directed toward any other person who can be blamed for the troubled situation. The child can learn to avoid these painful emotional states by acquiring a narcissistic mode of information processing. Such learning may be by trial and error methods, or it may be internalized by identification with parental modes of dealing with stressful information. Indeed, narcissism is fundamentally an evolved version of the psychological defense mechanism that we know as splitting. The narcissist does not regard people, situations, entities, collectives, workplaces as compounds of good and bad elements, good and bad sides, good and bad components. The narcissist is an all-or-nothing primitive machine, and he likes to use this metaphor of a machine when he talks about himself. The narcissist either idealizes his objects or devalues them. At any given time, the objects are either all bad or all good. There is no gray zone, there is no compromise. The world is in black and white. The bad attributes of these objects are always projected, displaced, or otherwise externalized and attributed to others. The good ones are internalized in order to support the inflated self-concepts of the narcissist and his grandiose fantasies, and in order to avoid the pain of deflation and disillusionment. Thus, everything that's good in other people, situations, places, collectives, is the narcissist attributes to himself. Everything that's bad is always someone else's fault. The universes, other people, collectives. This often translates into persecutory delusions and renders the narcissist somewhat paranoid. The narcissist's earnestness and his apparent sincerity make people wonder whether he is simply detached from reality, unable to appraise it properly, or whether he is willingly and knowingly distorts reality and reinterves it, subjecting it to his self-imposed censorship and grandiosity. And the truth, as usual, is somewhere in between. The narcissist is dimly aware of the implausibility of his own constructions and confabulations. He has not lost touch with reality completely. He is just less strepulous in remoulding it and in ignoring it some comfortable angles. Horowitz continues to say, The disguises are accomplished by shifting meanings and using exaggeration and minimization of bits of reality as an idus for fantasies elaboration. Narcissistic personality is especially vulnerable to regression, to damage or defective self-concepts on the occasions of loss of those who have functioned as self-objects, in other words what I call sources of narcissistic supply. When the individual is faced with such stress events as criticism, withdrawal of praise or humiliation, the information involved may be denied, disavowed, negated or shifted in meaning, to prevent the reactive state of rage, depression and shame. That's Horowitz. The second psychological defense mechanism which characterizes the narcissist is the active pursuit of narcissistic supply. The narcissist seeks to secure a reliable and continuous source of supply of admiration, adulation, affirmation and attention, as opposed to common opinion, which unfortunately infiltrated literature and cinema. The narcissist is content to have any kind of attention, whether good or bad. If fame cannot be heard, not a right it would do. The narcissist is obsessed with his narcissistic supply. He craves attention, he is addicted to it, he is a narcissistic supply junkie, his behavior in the pursuit of narcissistic supply is impulsive, compulsive and uncontrollable and he won't be ignored. Again, if he cannot secure a positive supply, he will do it the bad way.  Horowitz again. The hazard is not simply guilt because ideas have not been met. Rather, any loss of a good and coherent self-feeling is associated with intensely experienced emotions, such as shame and depression, plus an anguished sense of helplessness and disorientation. To prevent this state, the narcissistic personality slides the meanings of events in order to place the self in a better light. What is good is labeled as being of the self, internalized. Those qualities that are undesirable are excluded from the self by denial of their existence, disavowal of related attitudes, externalization and negation of recent self-expressions. Consumers who function as accessories to the self may also be idealized by exaggeration of their attributes. Those who counter the self are depreciated, ambiguous attributions of blame and a tendency to self-righteous rage are a conspicuous aspect of this pattern. Such fluid shifts in meanings permit the narcissistic personality to maintain apparent logical consistency while minimizing evil or weakness and exaggerating innocence or control. As part of these maneuvers, the narcissistic personality may assume attitudes of contemptuous superiority towards others, emotional coldness or even desperately charming approaches to idealized figures. Horrible.


consumer equilibrium and market demand. To understand consumer equilibrium one should have understanding about indifference curve and budget constraint. As already discussed indifference curve denotes different combination of two commodities that provide same level of satisfaction to a particular consumer. Similarly, budget constraint shows different combination of two commodities that a consumer can afford by using his limited income. Under consumer equilibrium our objective is to analyze how a consumer responds to a change in price and income. If prices of commodities changes, how equilibrium, how consumer choice will change because of change in price of commodities or because of change in income of the consumer. In fact equilibrium is a point where consumer is maximizing his satisfaction while facing the budget constraint. There is a change in equilibrium of the consumer because of change in prices of the commodities and income of the consumer. In fact consumers equilibrium ultimately helps us to find out demand for goods and services by individuals and on the basis of these individuals demand we in fact describe market demand. Consumers equilibrium in fact are the optimal choices of a particular consumer against given budget constraint. Optimal choice are those choice of the commodities where consumer is maximizing his satisfaction under his given income constraint. If we assume the prices of both commodities that are being used by a particular consumer decreases because of the decrease in prices of the commodities. There is increase in consumer satisfaction. Because of that decrease in the prices of the commodities, consumer can afford more of both commodities to maximize his satisfaction. Similarly if we assume prices of commodities remain constant and there is increase in income of the consumer. Because of that increase in income of the consumer affordability part of affordability of the consumer will increase and because of that increase in affordability of the consumer, consumer can purchase more of both commodities and there is a change in combination of commodities against which a consumer is achieving satisfaction. So we will understand concept of consumer equilibrium in detail in next few materials. Thank you very much.


At least when I'm going to get in here someplace, you know what? Good for you, Jack. Never mind that. Ask me what happened. I know, I invited you to her house for supper and you stayed three months.

Ever since I did acrylic nails and toenails, people just want me to give them to you, so... What is wrong with you? So much. Okay, fine. Yay! On a scale of 1 to 10, how excited are you? The lens retracting back into the camera excited. Welcome back to another episode of I'm bored and Julian's an incredibly good sport. I thought the most acrylic videos I ever was gonna make is too. Like I did my fingers and my toes and that was it. But you know what? People keep asking me to do your nails, which I feel like it's... Why? Why do you keep asking? You should have stopped it too. Do I get a foot massage at the end? No. Do I get a leg massage at the end? No, this isn't my kind of care.  No. Why am I here? When is it being a good sport gonna start benefiting me? You can channel your inner Kylie Jenner. All right, now I'm excited. That's all you had to say. Now, kiss. This might be a problem because you got big ol' fingernails. How am I gonna get that out of here? All right, hold on.  Look it, I have to flatten it all the way out. Where you just put it, like have it perched. No, no, no, no, no, no, no. What are you doing? What are you doing? What are you doing? Explain the process. I don't even know what's happening. I'm gluing a tip onto your finger. You've seen me do these videos. You know how this works.  You're gonna have to use the thumbnail on all of my nails. I know I really am though. We're gonna work. Oh dude, why is it on there, dude? Stop touching me. I don't like it. Can you get this off? When does the foot massage happen? Boy, there is no foot massage. There was talk of a foot massage. No, there is no foot massage. Okay, can I have a foot massage? Can I pay extra for a foot massage? No. Do you like your nails so far?   Your hands looked so relaxed right now. Look at that.  Stop. You have to be careful with them because that glue will come undone. What? I just scratched my nail with my nail.  Where are you going? Give me your hand. I pray. Give me your hand. Give it back. This never ever happens again. Do you have a lion waiting out the door? Yeah, I'm very, very, very, very busy. I don't see anyone and it took me five hours to find someone.   Wait, so I don't know if this is a good idea. That's like a gash. Gash smash. It looks like you need like stitches. I'm just like dripping blood out of your salon. What if you came to a salon with an open wound like it's an ER? Step one is done. The ogre nails are covered. That was the easy part. Let me see. Two thumbs up. Don't, don't, okay, stop. What? What? I'm being normal. I don't know what you want from me. Okay? I'm ready once you stop talking. It looks like really good on you. Really? Yeah.  They add so much to right away. What? Okay, this is kind of fun.  So I'm gonna put some priming liquid on here. Are you okay? I swear to God, every year I get older more of those sounds come out of my body and I don't know why. All right, so I forget how to...  Oh, I got some on your finger, huh? Oh, that's your skin. Does that feel, baby? Not good.  This is fucked. That's how you have to soak you in acetone. My whole body? Yeah, your whole body. There's plenty of boys that have acrylic nails, so you're in good company. Worst case scenario, I can't get these off, but... That is absolutely a worst case scenario. So you can't even make a fist? No. To the end, don't stroke me. Everything I do, I'm afraid I'm gonna break my nail. Me. I'm not even joking. Me. This looks beautiful. You have these tan hands and pink nail beds. You look beautiful. This looks like you put popsicle sticks on a sausage. It looks like my fingers have chef hats on. I kind of just want to play with it. It looks so fun to play with. Why do you think I like doing this?  Yeah, this one's butt. I think that they should be dry by now. It really looks good, though. Honey, I know. You're really pulling it off. Don't do that. Oh, my God. I just did your nails for you. Give them an up close. Oh, my God. What? Serving fierce vibes. Something tells me that you actually like...  Like the glasses and the hat and the nails, though. I am serving James Charles vibes. But like the type that isn't talented. Like that. I'm talented in other ways. You gonna let me do things yet? I'm capable. Okay, this up. Queen, give me something harder. Why don't you pet the dogs? No, no, pet him.  Not joyful whatsoever. I feel like my hands are the claw machine at the arcade. That isn't how you would pet her. Okay, come here. Does it feel good? No, it can't. What are you trying about? Ow, ow, ow. So you would type with the nails? Well, how the fuck? What else, dude? How else, dude, you? Ah, this is the best video today. It just regrets. I really know it.  Julian! There's no way I'm going to be able to do this. All right, now you're just... You know, dramatic James. I can't, I can't do... It hurts. No, it doesn't. It's fine. No, that's cheating. No, you're doing it from the wrong side. You don't peel the hands from this side? Are you kidding me? No. I always peel the hands like this. How long have we been dating? You've never seen me peel the hands? Oh, queen. It's gone. That's all it is. You gave me these tools I can do with them as I please. This is... Julian, this is vile. Okay, no. You have to pick it up. It's like that scene in Family Guy, where he's trying to move the dead cat.  Fuck, I can't put any pressure on that. Come on, guys. He did that just now. God. Hi, Kermit. Your daddy wants to pet you. I can't grip him. I can't grip him. I can't grip him on her. What do I do? It's like grip. He just easier because he jumps up. Let me go touch marbles. Let me even do it. You can do it. Just put your finger on it, babe.  How? Like that. God. Okay, that is so dramatic, Julian. Aw, he made a little snore. He's getting banana all over his chest. Julian, ew. No. Ready? I'm going to type in a really special number. I can't even unlock my phone. No, you can itch yourself. Oh, it hurts. I'm going to say hi to our son over here. Hi, son. Hi. Hope I can get them off, but I don't know. That's not funny. I'm serious. I know I can get the tips off. I don't know about all the acrylics. Okay, tell me what you're doing before you do it. I'm just filing it a little bit so that the acetone gets in there real good in minutes. So how does it feel? I feel like I haven't even... What is wrong with you? That hurts so bad. Stop it. Honey, what do you got? No, there's a price. You're not robbing me. Okay, no. You know what? Hold on. You're doing it with banana. Ew. It's going to be acetone flavored banana. Flavored acetone. You're like legitimately scared that she's going to do it. I like that ad.  I know. He's such our son. He's such our son. Always eating everything he could.  He started to really put things in his cheeks too. Yeah. He's so sexed. He's so sexed. So how long do we keep this on for? Five, ten minutes. Well that's a big gap. I mean that's two of one time. Look at this blood bath. You're going to have someone here. Are you cool with that? I'm 100% not. Ew. Julian. You did it?  I love you girl. Ew. Leave. So we're actually broken up now. Because you just did that. And it was nasty. Yeah he's live footage of our break up. Pretty live streaming our break up. Oh my god. Easy with the cutes. You got sensitive cutes. If this isn't peel porn, I don't know what it is.  Did that feel better? I'm sick. Well Julian, was it worth it? It was actually kind of interesting to feel how that was though.  Yeah I don't know why. I honestly don't know why anyone can do that. Do you want to rub this on the other ones? Now that they're gone though I kind of miss them. Trigidia. Yeah. I feel like a little part of you actually really liked it. Once you have them on, gets you a little in the mood. For what? Not like sex stuff. You're like in the mood. For tea? For tea. See that doesn't look as good as yours. It doesn't. Thanks for letting me do your nails. I love you so much. But I would love you more if you had acrylic nails all the time. No you wouldn't. Because I wouldn't do a single dish. I wouldn't do anything around the house. I think we would just pile up.  We had some good quality time together right? And we just, we were on the table a little bit. I know but there's no bonding like ruining a table together. Don't be sick. Make sure you subscribe to my channel. Put it on your views every Wednesday slash Thursday. Julie and thank you. Oh my God this is not for your skin. This is like a hundred grit. So tomorrow do you want to go to the nail salon and both get real acrylics? Yeah. You want to do it at like 1 a.m. in a mile? Throw up in a one right? I'll see you guys next week. Bye. Take about you guys.


We have also been committed to supporting the skills and progress technical development of practitioners for a number of years. It is a key part of our strategy because it however was able to do our ambitions teachers, trainers and learning technologists, rydych chi i gael cerddiant y cyflawn iawn i'ch wneud uch安全 Pengyrchu.

That's where it started with a thought in the conversation. Absolutely. A few years down the line we are still thinking alongside each other and partnering on what we hope is going to be a very long-term partnership supporting vocational education practitioners and further education practitioners. It's one of our key challenges I think working in this sector for well over 25 years now is that many initiatives come and go very quickly and the pace of change and changes in funding from different sources also change very quickly and that leaves a lack of consistency across different networks and across different priority areas. So we hope that this partnership with VokTec Trust will enable ELD to support members and the wider sector in this area providing some much needed continuity. This partnership builds on the successful work of the AmplifyFE network, a network that connects professionals across the sector and communities of practice to share expertise and find out more about new tools and new technologies and really help each other and support each other through knowledge exchange. This partnership builds on what we've learned over the past two years from AmplifyFE and the sector audit that we've been running to help establish a new community space dedicated to this growing community and connecting those existing networks across the piece. But there's also an important link in with the wider UFI family of projects and innovations. Yeah and for us you know together it's about our shared commitment to creating more and ongoing opportunities for the vocational sector, for people working in the vocational sector, to be valued and really be invested in in terms of their continuous professional development. At UFI we really want to enhance how vocational learning and training happens in the UK and to do that practitioners need that support and they need places where they can go to get that support and our hope in the long term is that there'll be a really no ripple effect in the lasting legacy because people who've been able to access the networks and support that are available from ALT will continue to grow and develop and do great things and we know that great teaching and learning really transforms the lives of learners and that's at the heart of it. Two of the key things that are happening in the partnership at this point are the launch of a new community space which will build on our AmplifyFE network to connect existing and new communities of practice networks and experts. It will be free to join and open to everyone and will be regular activities across the year so that there'll always be something to engage with and something to provide support and the recognition for that professional development. We also want to look beyond what's current practice and do some horizon scanning and some research built on the professional accreditation frameworks and conceptual frameworks that are so important to our sector thinking around digital literacies and also digital poverty. There's a really important research piece that is now getting underway. That's so important and we're really pleased that you're part of our VokTech challenge work where we're really focused on how to level up opportunities for people most impacted by the digital divide and furthest away from learning to get the skills they need for work. One of the things that I know this piece of research is going to look at is what we learn from the projects that we're supporting about how digital, how tech can help overcome confidence barriers for learners. The statistics from the Learning and Work Institute show that adult engagement in lifelong learning is persistently low and our work on our VokTech challenge green paper really helped us understand the role that confidence and fear of failure and self-belief plays as a barrier for learning and I'm really excited about the potential for alts to bring their expertise and the expertise of their networks to our practical experience and learning from those projects to come up, as Maron said, with some really interesting tools and frameworks around how to work in this space really, really well because if we can crack it, the prize is enormous and then there's a legacy of information and tools and resources which will be there and will continue to have an impact in the long term and in the future. There's some quite groundbreaking stuff going on and it's really exciting and I think the combination of UFI's sort of relentlessly practical approach and an alts really deep understanding of what's good and what works and why that works is quite a powerful and interesting combination. You can get involved both in person and online and all activities are free to join and open to everyone. If you head over to the Amplify V website you can immediately sign up for our mailing list to keep in touch with all that's going on across the community and also join the Amplify V community space. There is a lot of conversation on social media particularly on Twitter and Facebook, other platforms so if you have a look for the Amplify V hashtag you'll be able to join in the conversation but if you're not that confident and maybe you're not quite sure how to join in an existing conversation just drop us an email get in touch with us directly and we'd be very happy to help you find your way in our growing community. It's fantastic and I just really encourage as many people to get involved and we're really keen to hear about people's experiences and feedback and ideas so that we can continue to evolve and deliver something that's useful and helpful. So it would be really great if you can keep in touch with us. If you haven't already had a look please do take a look at UFI's website. We have a community newsletter which you can sign up to and do all the usual things following us on social media and that's probably one of the best ways to find out also about when our next grant calls are coming up which are always of interest to people. So you know please do stay in touch and engage with us through those channels. We're really keen to keep building our network and our community. Well we're delighted and really proud to work in partnership with UFI. We're so excited that you've given us the opportunity to make this Amplify V community space become a reality for our growing community and I would really like to invite you all to find out more about the work of the Vogue Tech Trust and find out more about the work that Amplify V is doing as a community. Thank you very much for getting involved in the conversation.


Hi everyone, my name is Steph, this is the novelty corner and today I'm very excited to share with you my review of This Is Me by Sally Morgan, which is a gorgeous, gorgeous little book. Sally Morgan is an Australian First Nations author and this book was originally published in February 2022 and somehow I have missed seeing this book because I love Sally Morgan's books and anytime I see one that I haven't seen before I generally try and grab it and this one is just such a good little book that'd be great in any F2 Classroom. So this book was published by Magabala Press and on their website they said, this is me by Sally Morgan is a beautiful board book about self-acceptance that all parents care as grandparents and families will love to read.  It's a simple, elegant book about unconditional love and is the perfect way to reinforce to all children that they are unique, important, special, just the way that they are. That's exactly what this book is. It's very short, it has very simple text but big, beautiful, colorful illustrations and it celebrates that self-acceptance and the way that every person is special and unique, wonderful just the way they are. So as I said, I love all of Sally Morgan's works. I need to, you know, finish collecting the rest of the books of hers that I don't have because I have quite a few but I can always do with more. It is written for young children and their families but it could definitely be used in Foundation New One or Year Two because it is all about knowing yourself and loving yourself and a lot of the work that we do in Foundation New Year Two around well-being has to do with this. I mean you could definitely use it beyond there but it is a fairly simple text so it's perfect for that younger age group. The positive message is just gorgeous and we need more books like this because this is just a celebration of being who you are. I love that on each page there are words that are highlighted. These are words that you could pull out and you can have a discussion around. It's also a really great book for making text to self-connections and thinking about the ways that you show love for yourself. You could absolutely create a class book around this and I think you could also absolutely use this as a way of inspiring children to write about the things that make them special, unique, enjoyable, it'd be a great writer's notebook activity using this as a mentor text. What makes you you and what do you celebrate about yourself? It would be perfect for that. As I said, I absolutely love this book. I'm going to leave links to where you can check it out down below. If you have any comments or questions feel free to leave them down below otherwise if you want to let me know that you're here but you don't leave a comment feel free to leave a star emoji. I hope that we're here on the world just staying safe and healthy and I will see you in my next video. Thanks so much for watching. Bye everyone.


Knowing your people is critical so that you know whether or not they need that extra call or they need to face time with you because they need to see someone physically. If you know their personality style then you know who might be at higher risk for having suicidal ideation during this change and in the experience of our society. Until four years ago when I joined Air University I was actually consultant to the Department of Defense on the topic of suicide. When we change our social contact with each other we tend to feel a bit of fear. Some people might be scared, some people might be more anxious so if you weren't an anxious person before you might start experiencing anxiety in ways that you never have before. So it's important to recognize that this is not a very fluid progression in terms of how we're gonna get through this. Give yourselves some grace that you're going to be experiencing things that you might not otherwise experience in a normal routine. I think because our normal routines have been interrupted that might also be particularly difficult for people who have or do experience depression and anxiety before this experience. They may feel more disconnected and of course feeling disconnection is a core component to suicidal thinking. It's feeling a sense of burdensomeness, feeling a sense of disconnectedness and then feeling a lack of fear or fearlessness about actually following through and dying by suicide. So it's particularly important for supervisors to reach out to people and try to lessen that distance and build that connection at this time. So I think it's really challenging our norms and our way of thinking and about engaging with those that we supervise to know that and encourage them to continue working hard but adjusting to a different routine. And I don't think, I worry because in the military environment we're very structured and so we want things to be in a certain way and as a society we don't like working in gray and this is very much finding the gray, being in the gray, finding yourself the rust into the gray and needing to find a new way of working from home. There will be an end to this. At some point we will loosen up the isolation guidelines and we will be coming back together. Not just about the Air Force offering mental health support in different ways and creative ways now but making sure that we adjust and recognize that there may be more work to do when people return.


And then on the liability side of things, let's go liabilities and equity. These are third-party liabilities. We've got accounts payable. This is like accounts receivable, but now that's what we owe, we'll talk more about it in the second month. It goes up with a bill form, and the bill form we can't see because it was a beginning balance, and it goes down with a bill payment, which is a type of check form. That's all you expect to see in the accounts payable. But this is by date. We also have a subledger report that is gonna be by vendor, which I won't look at now because we don't have much detail in there yet. We didn't do anything much on the Visa card yet, but if you're using the Visa to make a lot of payments, it would act similar to a bank account up top, and that's why it's got its own section here instead of just being under other current liabilities because you can connect it to the bank feeds. Anything that doesn't have a special need that is an other current liability type of account is down here. So we've got the, this is our sales tax payable, which is only gonna go up with the sales forms, which are invoices and sales receipts. They will go down when we pay off the sales tax, which we'll do next month, and we'll see that transaction. And then we've got the payroll taxes, which are going up in terms of a liability. When we process a payroll, they'll go down. When we pay the payroll, and then we've got our equity accounts as a sole proprietorship, we have our equity main account, not being called retained earnings, but we changed it to owner's equity. And then we made a separate account for investments, and the income is gonna roll into the owner's equity automatically. That's the closing process that QuickBooks does automatically. If it were a partnership, we might have multiple capital accounts, we might call them for the partners to track each partner's claim to the assets in the business, and each partner might have a draws account, the money they take out, each partner might have an investment account, the money that they put in. Partnerships are actually some of the more tedious bookkeeping to do, more difficult in many ways than a corporation, because a corporation, although it has multiple owners, breaks out the ownership into standardized units, that's the point, so that that's when you have the retained earnings, and then instead of draws, you have dividends because everybody has to agree on the dividends per share, and that's more of a corporate type of decision as opposed to an individual partner deciding to draw out whatever they want in accordance with the partnership agreement and with their capital account and so on.


Hi folks, this is the autocomplete interview. Is Boris Johnson four or against Brexit? Boris Johnson is four Brexit. Does Brexit happen on Friday? Brexit happens on Friday, definitely. 31st, 11 o'clock. Is Boris Johnson going to sell the NHS? No. Will Brexit affect my holiday? No, not at all. You'll have a fantastic holiday. Does Brexit make my passport expire? No. But it does mean that you are entitled to a beautiful new blue passport. Irrespective of Brexit, will Brexit help farmers? In lots of ways. We'll be able to cut bureaucracy, find new markets for UK produce, lamb, beef, dairy produce, cheese overseas. Is Boris Johnson modelling? Martin Ling will be our chef. Does Brexit help companies to export? We're going to do fantastic free trade deals with countries around the world. So that's a big opportunity for the UK to be more global and companies to think big again about the opportunities in the global market. Will Brexit help fishermen? Yes. Brexit will help fishermen because we'll be taking back control of our coastal waters. We'll be able to exploit the spectacular marine wealth of the UK. Will Brexit restore sovereignty? Absolutely. In the sense that Brexit means that we take back control of our entire legal system. We're responsible here in the UK for all the laws that govern our country and will be able to legislate and regulate in the best interests of UK citizens and businesses. Does Brexit stop foreign students? No. It means that the UK will continue to participate in fantastic schemes that allow our kids, our students to go to other European countries to study. And of course we're going to continue to have foreign students come to this country. But what we will have is an Australian-style points-based immigration system that allows us to control our immigration.


Item number, SCP-524. Object Class. Safe. Special Containment Procedure. As it has a benign nature, little security is needed for this SCP. More commonly known as Walter, SCP-524 must be kept under surveillance in order to prevent accidental damage to any vital material within the site. Whilst not under the direct care of a personnel member, SCP-524 may be kept in a specially designed pen, roughly 5x5 meters, with sensors placed within to notify SCP-524's current keeper of any escapes. Due to its abilities, there are no specific diets to be assigned to this SCP. Description. SCP-524 is a common white rabbit. It can be identified by its white fur with symmetrical black markings on its body. SCP-524 has shown the ability to be able to consume any material, regardless of edibility. It eats in the same fashion as any other member of its species, though it can eat substances that are not only inedible, but dangerous. SCP-524 has been recorded chewing through wood, steel, glass, and in one instance, several kilos of radioactive material. SCP-524 shows no adverse effects from anything it has consumed. Despite the obvious paradox involved, SCP-524 has been known to fully consume its own body. It begins by chewing on its tail, slowly eating up past the hind legs and up towards its head.  Roughly 30 minutes later, SCP-524 reappears near the spot it had eaten itself, completely whole. It is essentially unharmed by the process. Addendum, SCP-524 was discovered during a major blackout in August of 2001. It had disrupted a large power plant by chewing through several reactors and was discovered nibbling on a large wire. Lesson complete, if you missed the previous orientation, go watch SCP-523, the most unhelpful object on Earth, right now. Or for the complete course, watch this playlist.
